Inner Salt and Light Within
Matthew 5:13-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 5 in context
Scripture Focus
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.
