Inner Judge Makes Right

Genesis 18:24-26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 18 in context

Scripture Focus

24Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
25That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
26And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
Genesis 18:24-26

Biblical Context

Genesis 18:24-26 presents Abraham asking that the city be spared if fifty righteous are found. God affirms He will spare it for their sake, revealing a balance of justice and mercy.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the scene not as distant history but as your inner life. The city represents your state of consciousness, and the righteous within are your higher qualities—compassion, integrity, faith. The Judge of all the earth is not an external deity but the I AM within you, your unconditioned awareness that shall not the Judge do right? In this reading, the question is not about a city but about your inner balance: when your inner tenets—truthfulness, mercy, justice—are present, you do not destroy the parts that seem wicked; you spare the overall pattern of life for the sake of the righteous within. If you can find fifty righteous within, you demonstrate that your awareness can cover and redeem your whole scene. Spiritual leadership is not coercion but alignment—assurance that right order rises from the inside, and mercy flows where it is invited by your belief. This is the inner decree: the I AM will do right in you, through you, and as you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and revise your current challenge by declaring, 'The Judge within me does right; my life is spared and moved by mercy.' Feel the relief as if the inner balance already exists.
