Neville Goddard on Job 22:2-5 - 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?

4Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?

5Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?

Job 22:2-5

Biblical Context

The passage asks if a man profits God by wisdom or righteousness, and whether God takes pleasure in our perfect paths. It then identifies fear, judgment, and inner wickedness as the true inner obstacles to alignment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, Job 22:2-5 reveals that God is not a distant observer of deeds but the inner state by which you live. 'Profit unto God' becomes the joy of aligning your consciousness with the I AM, not a performance that earns favor. Righteousness is the realization that your thoughts and feelings are the channels through which divine life flows; when you imagine and feel as the very state God sees, you are profitable to the Whole. Fear of judgment arises from a false sense of separation; yield to fear and you invite an inner reprover, yet the correction is to turn inward and affirm unity with God. Your great wickedness and infinite iniquities are not personal flaws before an external judge but misperceptions of lack that dissolve as you dwell in the one Presence. So repent by turning toward the I AM, revise the inner scene in consciousness, and allow the inner righteousness to become your outward reality.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the present-tense state: 'I am the righteousness of God now.' Stay with this feeling for several minutes, letting fear dissolve and the sense of inner profit to God rise as your natural state.
