Grace and Fellowship Within Galatians

Galatians 2:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Galatians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

9And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
Galatians 2:9

Biblical Context

Paul and the apostles acknowledge Paul's grace and grant him fellowship, signaling a bond that enables him to carry the gospel to the Gentiles while others reach the Jews.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the letter stands a simple drama: the inner pillars—James, Cephas, John—recognize the grace given to Paul and Barnabas and extend the right hands of fellowship. In Neville’s key, these pillars are not men but states of consciousness—certainty, action, and insight—standing in your mind as witnesses to your true nature. When you perceive the grace given unto you, you awaken to a truth you already are: the I AM, the unconditioned awareness that orders the world. The fellowship is an inner handshake, a sealing of harmony between the state that loves the Gentiles and the state that would keep to old forms. The directive—go unto the heathen—becomes a directive to carry your mission into the outer world, not by struggle, but by belief in your own inner order. The division of circumcision vs. heathen is simply the mind’s old partitions dissolving as you choose to act from your wholeness. Your inner pillars acknowledge you; your outer life follows suit, drawn by the gravity of your assumed state. The result is unity of purpose, not compromise but a higher synthesis.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and deliberately assume that these inner pillars have already given you the right hand of fellowship. Feel the inner unity and let your next outward action be guided as if you were already in alignment.
