The Inner Law Fulfilled
Matthew 5:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus declares he did not come to destroy the law or the prophets, but to fulfil them. The fulfilment is not destruction but the living realization of the inner law within consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the law and the prophets as the inner weather of your mind—fixed patterns of thought and inner voices guiding your attention. When Jesus says he came not to destroy but to fulfil, he invites you to stop trying to change the outer commandments with force and instead awaken to the living I AM that underwrites every command. The 'fulfilment' is not an event outside you; it is your consciousness realization that the end you seek is already present as a state you can inhabit. The law remains, but now it sings with a new harmony: you do not resist or rebel against it, you align with it in feeling and imagination until your inner state matches the end. The prophets speak as inner guidance toward that state; heed them not with doubt but with the courage of assumption. If you refuse to fulfill, you are destroying the experience by negation; if you accept, you are simply letting the imagination operate as the law of your life. The moment you identify as the end, you have fulfilled.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the end-state as already yours, feeling it in your chest. Let any doubt dissolve as you dwell in that finished sensation.
