Neville Goddard on Job 22:2-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 22 in context

Scripture Focus

2Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?

3Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?

Job 22:2-3

Biblical Context

The text asks whether a man can profit God by righteousness and whether God finds pleasure in outward perfection; it points to inner alignment as the true measure.

Neville's Inner Vision

Profit is not external gain but the degree to which your consciousness is in alignment with the I AM. Job's question becomes a mirror: can your state of awareness please the Absolute by staying true to integrity? In Neville's language, holiness is a fixed inner disposition, not a label you wear; purity arises when you accept that God is your awareness and that you are already I AM. When you imagine yourself as that complete, you cease seeking reward and begin to live from the conviction that every act of obedience is simply the natural expression of your true nature. The 'ways' you seek to perfect are the ways of your inner sight - consistent, unshakable, loving. If you revise the thought 'I must earn God's favor' into 'I am God in expression, therefore I am perfectly aligned,' your daily events respond as if the Almighty nods at your consciousness, not your performance. The moment you assume this, the world rearranges itself to reflect your inner decree.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit in stillness and repeat, 'I AM righteousness now,' until the sense of alignment settles in. Let your feeling-state carry the conviction that your world reflects this inner truth.
