Inner Salvation Through Love
John 3:16-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
John 3:16-18 declares God's love in giving the Son so believers have eternal life; it also states the Son came to save, not condemn, and that disbelief leaves one condemned.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville lens, the verse is a compass for the consciousness you are. God is not outside you but the I AM you call awareness. The 'world' is the field of your present conditions; the 'Son' is your higher idea of self, the Christ within that you can awaken by assent. When you believe in this Son, you are not doing something to God but reviving your own state of grace, the life that cannot perish is the life of awareness you already possess. Condemnation arises only when you identify with lack or limitation; Jesus did not come to condemn but to reveal a different register of being, a believing in the reality of your sonship. If you perceive yourself as loved and already saved, you reverse the sense of separation and open the channel through which grace flows. Your faith is not a request to God but an alignment with the truth of your I AM. The moment you assume the state of being loved, forgiven, and upheld, you discover salvation here and now, in the inner atmosphere of your mind.
Practice This Now
Imaginative practice: assume the state 'I am loved by God now' and feel the grace; revise any sense of condemnation by affirming, 'I am the beloved Son, and condemnation has no place in my mind.'
