Neville Goddard on Galatians 3:16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Galatians 3 in context

Scripture Focus

16Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Galatians 3:16

Biblical Context

The promises are addressed to a single heir, not to many. That single seed is Christ, the inner awareness through whom the blessing comes.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this line, Abraham's seed is not a crowd of heirs but the one within you—the consciousness that says 'I AM.' The so-called covenant is not a future contract but a present disposition: belief that you are the one through whom blessing flows. The 'seed' Christ is the inner awareness that you are already the heir. When you identify with the seed, you identify with Christ as your awareness—your capacity to conceive, to believe, to become the blessing. The law of faith says whatever you affirm as true in your consciousness, you embody in your world. Your seed inside you is not a future birth but your present awareness that you are already the heir. When I dwell in that realization, the blessing manifests as opportunities, health, peace insofar as my inner life aligns with that truth. My faith thus reclaims my inheritance by turning my attention to the I AM and treating it as the source of every promise.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, breathe, and assume the stance 'I AM the seed of promise within me.' Visualize a singular glowing seed in your chest and feel that you are already the heir; repeat 'I and the Seed are one' until it feels real.
