Inner Light of Ephesians 5:8-10

Ephesians 5:8-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ephesians 5 in context

Scripture Focus

8For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
Ephesians 5:8-10

Biblical Context

You once dwelt in darkness; now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light, bearing the fruit of goodness, righteousness, and truth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul is not asking you to change outer circumstances but to shift your inner state. Ye were darkness, but now ye are light—this is a declaration of consciousness, not a label placed on behavior. Your true self is the I AM that never sleeps; light is the awareness that arises when you realize you are already what you seek. The fruit of the Spirit—goodness, righteousness, and truth—appears as inner dispositions align with this light, not as a list of duties. You do not create light by striving; you reveal it by ceasing to identify with darkness and by living from the knowledge of your inner nature. The world becomes a demonstration of your inner movement: you prove what is acceptable unto the Lord by acting from that inner recognition. In practice, shift from lack to fullness, from fear to faith, from judgment to truth. Your walk becomes an ongoing inner revision, a discipline of consciousness where impressions contrary to your light are gently set aside. As you remain in this awareness, your behavior, choices, and relationships start to reflect the light you now acknowledge as your origin.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you are the light; revise any sense of darkness by affirming I am the light of the Lord, and feel it real in your chest. Then walk in that certainty by choosing one truthful, good action today.
