Neville Goddard on John 12:47-50 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read John 12 in context

Scripture Focus

47And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

48He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

49For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

50And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

John 12:47-50

Biblical Context

Jesus declares he came to save, not to judge. Those who hear his words and do not believe are judged by the words themselves, for the Father’s commandment is life everlasting and he speaks what the Father commanded.

Neville's Inner Vision

John 12:47-50 invites you to see that Jesus does not condemn the world; he came to save. In the Neville lens, the 'world' is a state of consciousness you inhabit when you forget your oneness. The 'word' Jesus speaks is not a history lesson but the inner discourse your I AM uses to shape experience. When you hear his words and believe not, you are not standing before a cosmic judge; you are revealing a belief pattern in your own mind that resists truth. The last day is not a future moment but the moment you realize the word you spoke has authority over your life. The Father who sent me gave me a commandment—to say and speak—and that commandment becomes your own inner directive when you align. Therefore, the commandment is life everlasting here and now. Your task is to align your inner speech with that command, revise fear into faith, and stop projecting judgment on others; instead, awaken to salvation by recognizing you are the speaker and the salvation.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: For five minutes, sit quietly and imagine the Father within you speaking through your lips. Repeat, 'What I say comes from the Father,' and feel eternal life flow through your body.
