From Law to Faith Within

Galatians 3:23-25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Galatians 3 in context

Scripture Focus

23But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Galatians 3:23-25

Biblical Context

Galatians 3:23-25 reveals that the law kept people under obligation until faith appeared; it served as a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, and once faith comes, we are no longer under that tutor.

Neville's Inner Vision

Before faith—the direct awareness of I AM—entered your experience, you lived under the sense of law, a discipline of do's and don'ts that kept your attention outward. The law was a schoolmaster, teaching the mind that separation from God is imagined and that the real you is under a higher law of faith. When you awaken to the inner faith—the knowing that the I AM is your true consciousness—the student is dismissed; you are no longer under a schoolmaster because your life is now governed by the realized 'I am' presence. Faith here is not belief in an external rule but the confident identification with your own divinity, the inner readiness that accepts unity with God. As you dwell in that inner faith, the external commandments lose coercive power; your acts arise from the revised state of consciousness, effortlessly justified by the one reality you now know. The transition is a shift of identity from law to faith, from fear to trust in God within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and declare, 'I am the faith within me now,' then imagine stepping through a door from the law's shadow into a radiant garden ruled by the I AM. Feel the free, justified you already present, and let your actions flow from that inner state.
