Calling Sinners to Repentance

Luke 5:32 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 5 in context

Scripture Focus

32I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Luke 5:32

Biblical Context

Luke 5:32 presents Jesus saying he came to call sinners to repentance, not the righteous. Here 'sinners' signals inner states of lack or separation, and repentance means turning the mind toward a new inner life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you the I AM speaks as the call to a new consciousness. The 'sinners' are not distant people but the inner self who believes in separation from God. To repent, in Neville’s sense, is not to beg or grovel but to revise your assumption of who you are—opening to the truth that you are forever one with the divine I AM. The 'call' is an invitation to feel from the inside that you are already forgiven, already complete, and capable of mercy toward yourself and others. This inward turning shifts your very atmosphere; it dissolves fear and replaces it with a calm, creative awareness that creates as you believe. When you persist in that felt sense, events align with it, and what seemed distant becomes present. The Father within you is always inviting you to inhabit a new state of consciousness; the imperative is to answer by dwelling in the reality you seek, not by chasing external proofs.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise a memory of lack by stating, 'I am the I AM; I am forgiven and forgiving now,' until that feeling sits as real in your body.
