Neville Goddard on Galatians 5:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Galatians 5 in context

Scripture Focus

1Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

2Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

Galatians 5:1-2

Biblical Context

Paul urges believers to stand firm in the liberty Christ provides and not return to the bondage of the law. External rituals cannot profit you once inner freedom is awake.

Neville's Inner Vision

Liberty here is not a political banner but a state of consciousness—your awareness, the I AM, waking to God within. Paul speaks as a master of inner law: the moment you demand circumcision or ritual, you are folding your trust into an external technique, and Christ as your inner reality profits little. The yoke of bondage is any thought that you are less than the freedom that already belongs to you in God. When you stand fast in the liberty, you are choosing to align your mind with the truth that you are already free in Christ. Every moment you revise a fear, a lack, or guilt, you weave a new hypothesis—the inner assumption—that the Kingdom is at hand now. The yoke dissolves as you feel, not merely think, the living presence of I AM, the Christ within, guiding your life. This is not denial but recognition: the law you live by is your inner state, and your outer world follows that seasoned awareness.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already free in Christ this moment; close your eyes, feel the posture of freedom, and repeat I AM free now until the feeling of liberty floods your awareness.
