Forgiveness Through Faith
Mark 2:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Mark 2:5, Jesus responds to the faith of the friends by declaring the sick man’s sins forgiven, signaling that forgiveness is an inward shift of consciousness prior to outward healing.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jesus’ statement to the paralytic is a revelation to the inner listener: forgiveness is a state of consciousness released by a true inner conviction, not a performed deed. The faith of those around the man represents the awakened thoughts and assumptions you hold, converging on the one center—the I AM within. When you align with that center, sin becomes a mis-tuning of your inner state, while forgiveness is the harmonizing revision that returns you to grace, mercy, and divine favor. The healing that follows is the outer symptom of an inner alignment: your awareness has shifted from limitation to wholeness, and the world mirrors that change. Thus, the passage invites you to cultivate the certainty that you are already forgiven, for this inner shift is the true cause of all transformation in your experience.
Practice This Now
Assume right now that you are forgiven in the I AM, and feel that truth settling into your chest. Then picture your mind as a room where inner friends carry your awareness into wholeness, confirming the forgiveness you already are.
