Neville Goddard on Galatians 4:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Galatians 4 in context

Scripture Focus

6And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

7Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Galatians 4:6-7

Biblical Context

Believers are adopted as sons with God’s Spirit in their hearts, crying Abba Father. They are no longer servants but heirs of God through Christ.

Neville's Inner Vision

All that Galatians 4:6-7 describes is a present inner conversion. God’s Spirit is not out there; it is the very breath of your awareness, the Son-nature awakened in the heart that cries Abba Father. When you realize you are no longer a dependent, but a son, you discover you are the heir of God through Christ—the inner Christ of your own consciousness. The word 'through Christ' signifies you and the Christ-idea are not two, but two aspects of one God within. The servant mindset dissolves as you identify with the I AM that wants only one thing: the intimate, fatherly presence you now call Abba. In Neville’s terms, the world you see is the outer illustration of an inner state; if you feel lack, revise to the truth that you are the beloved son, endowed with divine authority in your own mind. Practice the mental equivalent of your inheritance: assume you are already living in the Father’s house, hear the inner voice cry Abba, and let your heart align with God’s gift of sonship.

Practice This Now

Act: Sit quietly, place a hand on your chest, breathe, and imagine the living Spirit of the Son entering your heart and stirring a warm Abba-cry; repeat 'I am the heir of God through Christ' until the feeling of remaining in the Father's house becomes real.
