Inner Genealogy Of Christ
Matthew 1:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The opening line declares Jesus as the offspring in the line of Abraham and David. It anchors his identity in a sacred covenant carried through generations.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your inner name is not a passing thought; it is a lineage you consciously inhabit. Matthew 1:1 presents the book of the generation of Jesus Christ as an inner script—the story you are becoming by what you imaginatively accept as real. Abraham represents faith, promise, and invitation; David embodies kingship, courage, and the authority of consciousness. The genealogy is not a record of outward pedigrees but a map of states of mind you entrust to the I AM. When you align with this inner lineage, you acknowledge that the Christ within is the fruition of your thoughts—born not by ancestry but by agreement with your highest self. The I AM writes the lineages of your life as you revise your self-image and refuse to confess lack. The only inheritance that matters is the inner covenant you keep with the truth of who you are. In this view, the Kingdom of God is the living present, already begun wherever you accept and embody this royal consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and imagine the 'book of generation' opening before you; write the line that you are the Christ now, born of the I AM, aligned with the covenant of your true self. Feel the truth of that identity until it feels more real than any old story.
