Neville Goddard on Jude 1:1-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jude 1 in context

Scripture Focus

1Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:

2Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

3Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

4For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jude 1:1-4

Biblical Context

Jude introduces himself and writes to those sanctified, preserved in Christ and called, wishing grace, peace, and love to multiply. He urges believers to earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints, against ungodly intruders.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, Jude is not urging you to beg for grace but to wake to the state you already inhabit. Sanctification, preservation in Christ, and the calling are inner realities, not distant titles. The phrase 'the common salvation' becomes a common awareness you share in the I Am. When you read that some men crept in, see them as distracting voices inside the mind, habits and doubts that would turn grace into a license for mere appetite. To contend for the faith is to guard the inner conviction that you are in Christ and Christ is in you, here and now. The faith delivered to the saints is not a historical creed but a living pattern you repeatedly return to in imagination. Your awareness shapes experience: soften fear, revise guilt, and anchor yourself in the assurance of grace. Let mercy, peace, and love multiply by your steady, disciplined attention to this truth. The outward world may present peril, but your inward alignment with the I AM determines the outcome. Begin inside, and the outer scene adjusts to your newly assumed reality.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state: I am sanctified by God the Father, preserved in Jesus Christ, and called. Hold that feeling as you breathe, and let mercy, peace, and love multiply within you.
