Inner Salt and Light Within

Matthew 5:13-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 5 in context

Scripture Focus

13Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 5:13-16

Biblical Context

Matthew 5:13-16 presents you as salt and light in the world; maintain your savor and let your light shine so that others see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Neville's Inner Vision

All these images in Matt 5:13-16 are not about bricks and mortar, but about your inner state. Salt is the retained savor of consciousness—the confidence that keeps truth vivid and useful. When you assume you are this savor, you release fear and doubt; you become a force that flavors every moment. Light is awareness breaking through darkness; a city on a hill is your steady inner stance that cannot be hid when you believe in it. A candle on a stand represents the idea you place your consciousness where it can do its work, illuminating every room of life. Let your light shine is the call to act from this inner radiance, so the Father within is seen in your deeds. Do not seek praise from without; let the inner Father be demonstrated in your responses, choices, and love. The moment you persist in the assumption that you are this radiance, your surroundings rearrange to reflect it. Relationships, circumstances, and health align with your inner state, proving that reality follows consciousness.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare I am the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Feel the savor and glow as present realities, then plan one daily action that expresses your inner radiance.
