Inner Baptism and Repentance
Matthew 3:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
John rebukes the Pharisees and Sadducees at baptism. He questions their readiness and warns of coming wrath.
Neville's Inner Vision
John's rebuke is not a judgment of others but a reflection for your own mind. The Pharisees and Sadducees symbolize fixed beliefs you wear as identity—the vipers that coil around your potential. Baptism signifies the birth of awareness, a turning of attention from outer rites to the I AM within. The wrath to come is not a future punishment but the natural consequence of resisting truth; you experience emotional weather shaped by your thoughts unless you revise them. When you hear 'Who warned you to flee?', listen for the inner wake-up call that invites you to repent. In Neville's sense, repentance is a shift of state: you release old self-images and begin bearing fruits that align with truth. The inner judge dissolves as you recognize you are the I AM, already complete, and your world reflects that awakening.
Practice This Now
Assume the state: I AM, revise the belief 'I am separate' to 'I am consciousness itself, right now.' Feel that truth as real in body and atmosphere, and watch fear melt into light.
