Inner Two Sons Of Galatians
Galatians 4:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Galatians 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Abraham had two sons, one born of a bondmaid and one born of a freewoman; this passage contrasts bondage under the law with freedom by grace.
Neville's Inner Vision
Picture the scene as an inner drama. The bondmaid represents a consciousness bound to rules, fear, and performance—the 'law' you live by when you measure yourself by deeds. The freewoman stands for a state of awareness that trusts the I AM within, accepting grace as your rehearsed reality rather than a distant promise. In this reading, Abraham’s two sons are not historical sons but two currents in you: Ishmael as the restless striving that never satisfies, Isaac as the quiet, trusting birth of your true self. Paul’s writing invites you to awaken to the truth that you already possess the liberty your heart seeks. When you identify with the free state—knowing that your worth and your future are conceived in the I AM—you dissolve the sense of lack produced by rule-keeping. The scene shifts from fear of judgment to the confident companionship of grace. The birthright is now; you are the freeborn heir, living by the promise of imaginative faith rather than by works.
Practice This Now
Practice: sit in quiet, name the two pulls in your mind; then assume the feeling of Isaac, i.e., 'I am the I AM, free now'; imagine yourself standing in a light-filled space, the sense of bondage fading as grace fills you.
