The Inner Commandments
Matthew 19:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A seeker asks what good thing he must do to gain eternal life; Jesus replies that only God is truly good and that life comes from keeping the commandments.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice that the question assumes a future reward; yet the Master redirects to the inside. There is none good but God, meaning the 'good' is an inner state, not a moral checklist. The commandments are not external laws to obey, but inner alignments with the divine order. When you enter life, you enter a consciousness in which you no longer separate yourself from God; you keep the commandments by feeling the I AM as your reality. The man who seeks to do a thing points to lack; the one who knows he already has life acts from the truth that life is now. Assume you already possess eternal life by dwelling in the I AM; revise any sense of separation; and feel the conviction that you are keeping the inner commandments as an expression of your true identity. Your obedience becomes natural, and eternal life becomes a present state you embody, here and now.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and declare, I am the life of God now; visualize yourself living in inner order, keeping the commandments, and feeling eternal life as your present reality.
