Resurrection Beyond Marriage

Luke 20:34-36 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 20 in context

Scripture Focus

34And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
36Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
Luke 20:34-36

Biblical Context

Jesus says in Luke 20:34-36 that people in this world marry, but those worthy of the coming world live beyond marriage; they cannot die and are like angels, children of God, the resurrection.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the inner lens, the 'world to come' is not a distant place but a state of consciousness. The marriage Jesus mentions is the binding of life to time, roles, and possessive attachments that die with the body. Those deemed worthy of the resurrection are not renouncing love; they renounce the notion that life ends with a contract or a death sentence. They awaken to the I AM—awareness that remains unchanged no matter what appears. When you claim the I AM as your own, you become 'equal to the angels'—not because you float above others, but because you stand as timeless life, undiminished by circumstance. The phrase 'children of God' points to identity rooted in the resurrection, a present-tense reality: you are the life that cannot die. Hence, the old story about marriage loses its final authority; the inner child of God grows into an adult of eternity. In practice, entertain the feeling that your true self is the resurrection here and now, and watch your outer world reflect this inner continuity.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and revise: 'I am the resurrection and the life here and now.' Feel the unwavering awareness at the center of your chest and let it expand to fill every moment you encounter today.
