Neville Goddard on Galatians 5:6-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Galatians 5 in context

Scripture Focus

6For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

7Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?

8This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.

9A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

10I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

11And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.

12I would they were even cut off which trouble you.

Galatians 5:6-12

Biblical Context

The passage says outward rituals like circumcision don’t matter; true faith is faith activated by love, and external persuasion contrary to truth should be dismissed.

Neville's Inner Vision

See Galatians 5:6-12 as a map of your inner life. In the language of Neville Goddard, you are not defined by external rites but by the I AM within you, and faith must be alive through love. Circumcision and uncircumcision symbolize outer systems and habitual beliefs that cannot change your essential nature. Your power lies in faith that works by love—when love moves, obedience to truth follows naturally. Any persuasive doubt that speaks contrary to what you call or choose as true is not coming from the caller within but from a shadow of fear. A little leaven of doubt can spoil your entire loaf, so guard it by affirming that the truth you carry is complete and unaltered by opinion. I have confidence you will align with the truth; those who trouble you reveal only the limits you allow. The cross, rightly understood, reveals the unity of God and man within you. When you feel that unity, you stand in the reality of faith working by love, here and now.

Practice This Now

Imitate a revision by quietly assuming the state, 'I am faith that works by love.' Feel the warmth of love moving through you and view all external suggestions as reflections of your inner alignment; revise them into truth.
