Inner Covenant of Mercy
Hebrews 8:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hebrews 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage promises God’s mercy to our unrighteousness and that sins and iniquities are remembered no more. It also declares the first covenant old and decaying, ready to vanish away.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you the living I AM writes the covenant of mercy. When I say I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, I am not appealing to a distant judge but to the awareness in which I exist. The sins and iniquities I once believed were mine are remembered no more by the I AM that dwells as me. The old covenant—the fear-based set of rules that once governed my thoughts—begins to decay and vanish as I refuse to identify with lack or judgment. The new covenant is not a temple ceremony but a present state of consciousness: the felt sense that I am forgiven, whole, and free in this moment. If I dwell in that field, my past loses its charge and my future is re-scripted by grace rather than guilt. The moment I align with mercy, I see events as signs of release rather than proof of deficiency. Practice humility before this inner law: assume the state of forgiveness, as if it already were true, and watch how my life shifts to harmony and effortless being.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, place a hand on your heart, and declare, 'I am the I AM; I forgive myself; past sins are remembered no more.' Then breathe into a felt sense of release and notice how your perception shifts.
