Inner Baptism of Repentance
Mark 1:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
John baptized in the wilderness and preached a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; the message points to an inner cleansing and a turning toward God within.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's touch, John is the inner voice calling you to awaken in the desert of your own mind. The baptism is not an external rite but a cleansing of consciousness, a recognition that you are the I AM. Repentance is the inner turning away from fixed, limiting thoughts toward the awareness that you are always one with God. The remission of sins signifies release from mistaken identifications—guilt, separation, and lack—when you accept that you exist in the living presence of the divine. By steeping in this awareness, your outward world is re-scripted by the I AM, and what once seemed sin or error dissolves into understanding. The practical path Neville offers is simple: realize you are the consciousness that experiences life, and by that realization you are freed from the old sense of sin and re-identified with divine life.
Practice This Now
Assume you are washed clean now by the baptism of repentance; feel the I AM within and forgive the old guilt, letting your life reflect a renewed freedom.
