Neville Goddard on Galatians 6:12-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Galatians 6 in context

Scripture Focus

12As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

13For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

Galatians 6:12-13

Biblical Context

Paul exposes those who push outward signs to boast, while claiming to honor the law. True obedience lies in inner faith, not fleshly show.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this reading, the pressure to circumcise is the mind seeking external validation rather than inner life. The cross is not a ritual to perform but a turning of attention inward, where the I AM recognizes itself as already complete. Those who demand externals do not keep the law; they seek glory in the flesh because they fear the loss of social standing if faith remains unseen. You are invited to awaken to the inward realm where grace reigns and the outer forms fade. When you dwell in the awareness that you are loved by the I AM, the need to prove yourself disappears; your faith becomes trust in the unseen rather than compliance with signs. The mind that rests in the I AM discovers that the law of life is fulfilled by inner transformation, not by ceremonies. In that space, the urge to police others or yourself loses power, and you walk in the freedom Christ gives inside your own consciousness.
