Inner Action: Love in Obedience
John 14:31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus declares that loving the Father is proved by keeping His commands, and then invites action, 'Arise, let us go hence,' signaling that obedience is a living demonstration.
Neville's Inner Vision
All Scripture is a description of states of consciousness. The Father’s commandment is the inner law your I AM recognizes and follows. When Jesus says, I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do, He points to the way obedience is first an inward alignment and then a visible act. The world does not learn from sermons alone, but from the constant demonstration of your inner state. Arise, let us go hence becomes a decisive shift of being: you rise out of a former self and step into the state that already holds the command within your I AM. To do the command is not to perform a duty but to live as one whose awareness harmonizes with the inner order. Practice assumes a reality you cannot yet see with eyes, and then makes it feel real and acts from that certainty. In that moment, obedience becomes love in motion, and the world witnesses the truth of your inner covenant.
Practice This Now
Assume you are already obeying the inner command. In the next few minutes, close your eyes, affirm 'I AM obeying the inner command,' feel the impulse to act from that certainty, and then take one outward step consistent with that inner state.
