Inner Justice Over Tithing

Luke 11:42 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 11 in context

Scripture Focus

42But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Luke 11:42

Biblical Context

The passage condemns meticulous outward tithing while neglecting judgment and the love of God; true obedience requires inner justice and mercy.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the verse exposes the vanity of tithing herbs while neglecting the heart’s true duties of justice and the love of God. In your own life, outward observances may crowd the mind, yet the inner kingdom remains untouched by ritual unless you awaken the state that makes it real. Neville would tell you that you are not praying to God from outside; you are imagining from the I AM, the awareness that you truly are the source of every event. When you entertain the conviction that you already stand in righteous judgment and mercy, your thoughts rearrange the world you inhabit. Do not condemn the behavior of others; instead revise your inner posture until you feel the same love that God breathes into all beings. The problem is not life’s rules but the state you inhabit while following them. You are invited to awaken to the fact that obedience and faithfulness mean aligning outer acts with an inner quality: justice rooted in mercy, truth joined with compassion, and a life governed by the I AM present in you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the I AM as your governing state and revise one situation today by mentally declaring, 'I am the justice and mercy of God now.' Then feel that truth as real in your body and actions.
