The Inner Increase: John 3:30

John 3:30 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read John 3 in context

Scripture Focus

30He must increase, but I must decrease.
John 3:30

Biblical Context

John 3:30 speaks of an inner order: the Christ within increases while the old self decreases. The Presence of God becomes the ruling consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

John 3:30 whispers the immutable truth: He must increase, but I must decrease. In the realm of imagination, 'He' is the living Presence within you—the I AM that you are consciously aware of. The 'I' is the old self, the remembered you which believes in lack, separation, and time. When you attend to the inner state that allows the unspoken possibility to unfold, the Christ in you flourishes as the dominant fact of your being; the old self fades into the background as a memory of a past condition. Nothing changes in God; your consciousness shifts, and your world rearranges to reflect that shift. The more you dwell in the assumption of the completed inner state, the more you are invited to witness the external diminishment of limitation and the appearance of harmony, purpose, and power. This is not coercion, but alignment: you quiet the mind and declare, 'He must increase in me,' until the sense of 'I' dissolves into the radiance of the divine I AM. Practice faith in your inner witness, and watch life yield to the Christ within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state: 'He must increase in me.' Feel the I AM expanding as the old self relaxes, and let the sense of separation yield to the presence you already are.
