Turning From Sin, Living
Ezekiel 33:14-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 33 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ezekiel 33:14-16 says that when a wicked person turns away from sin and chooses to live righteously, life is granted and past sins are not counted against him.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider the 'wicked' as a momentary state of consciousness, not a fixed destiny. In the present I AM, God says: if the inner man turns from the old pattern and acts in what is lawful and right, you shall live. The act of 'restoring the pledge' is an inner covenant reasserted in your own imagination—a revision that aligns you with life rather than lack. When you walk in the statutes of life, you are choosing a mode of being consistent with life, love, and harmony rather than reaction and fear. In that moment, none of the sins you once imagined are mentioned by the I AM, for you have shifted your center of attention to a living, present reality. This is not punishment but a gracious correction, a re-scripting of your inner dialogue so that you live now, fully, without reference to the former error. The spiritual mechanics are simple: decide, imagine, and feel yourself already living in the right way; let your awareness erase the old record and confirm a life that is lawful and alive. The 'surely live' is your consciousness affirming itself as life here and now.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume you have already turned from the old pattern; in quiet, revise a recent slip by mentally restoring the pledge and feel the relief as your I AM declares, 'You shall live.'
