Forgiveness From Within
Matthew 18:35 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states that if you do not forgive from the heart, the heavenly Father will treat you as unforgiven; forgiveness is the inner release that invites mercy. Forgiveness is presented as a state of inner release rather than a mere moral judgment.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the theater of your consciousness, the Father is the I AM—the living awareness that you are. If you cling to grievance toward another, you imprison yourself in a debtor's state; the universe returns that sense of debt as lack, discord, or illness. Matthew 18:35 is not a threat but a mirror: your outer mercy flows from your inner tone. When you awaken to the truth that trespasses exist only as symbols in your dream, you can release them by an act of inner forgiveness. The moment you assume you have forgiven, you revise the scene; you may imagine yourself quietly saying, 'I freely forgive,' and feel the release coursing through your chest, widening your heart toward all beings. Your forgiveness does not erase the past; it transforms the state of consciousness that creates the past. As you dwell in the I AM, mercy becomes natural and your relationships are touched by that released energy.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume you have already forgiven from your heart. Revise the scene by declaring 'I forgive now' and feel the release as the I AM fills you with light.
