Neville Goddard on Luke 7:47 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 7 in context

Scripture Focus

47Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

Luke 7:47

Biblical Context

The verse says the woman’s sins are forgiven because she loved much; those who feel forgiven little love little. It points to forgiveness as an inner state, not a mere outward act.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the woman's 'sins' are not a ledger of wrongs but a belief in separation she once held about herself. The forgiveness she receives is the natural effect of a consciousness saturated with love. In this moment, Jesus awakens you to the truth that you are the I AM, the very awareness that can revise any memory. When you identify with a smaller self and feel unworthy, you block forgiveness; when you choose to love, you align with the state where forgiveness already exists. Practice the assumption that you are forgiven now, and let a new mood of freedom, confidence, and generous love arise to guide your days. Forgiveness is not granted from outside but enacted within your imagination, and love acts as the currency that buys the memory's reform. Restore your sense of self as the one I AM, and watch how relationships soften as your inner climate changes.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I am forgiven now.' Breathe into that feeling for several minutes, then revisit a past fault in imagination and revise it so it ends in grace.
