Neville Goddard on Luke 20:37-38 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 20 in context

Scripture Focus

37Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

38For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

Luke 20:37-38

Biblical Context

God is not the God of the dead but of the living. Moses’ burning-bush moment witnesses the continuity of life with the divine.

Neville's Inner Vision

Luke 20:37-38 invites us to see God as the God of the living, not of the dead, and Moses’ bush as a demonstration that life persists within divine consciousness. In my practice, I do not seek an external miracle; I seek to become the living I AM. The dead are only names for abandoned states of mind, while the living are those whom I awaken by attention and belief. When I imagine the Lord named as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, I am reminded that my own past loyalties, covenants, and memories are not severed from life—they are reinterpreted as living possibilities within God. The resurrection occurs when I stop identifying with the image of death and begin identifying with the living present of God. All who ever knew those names live unto Him in this moment, because the One I call God is the source and sustainer of consciousness. The proof of life is not argument but living certainty—an inner revelation that I am truly in the realm of the living.

Practice This Now

Practice: assume you are the living I AM now. Revise any sense of death by declaring 'I am the living God within me' and feel the truth rise to awareness.
