Fulfillment Within the Law

Matthew 5:17-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 5 in context

Scripture Focus

17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:17-20

Biblical Context

Jesus says the law and the prophets remain intact and are fulfilled, not destroyed. True entry into the kingdom requires a righteousness that goes beyond outward rule-keeping.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the law and the prophets not as distant commands to be guarded, but as the shapes of your own consciousness. The jot and tittle are not letters to memorize, but movements of awareness: every moment slides toward 'all is fulfilled' when you turn from mere rule-keeping to living from the I AM that perceives. To 'fulfil' is to align your inner state with the intention behind the commandments, so that your outer acts reflect the truth you already know. You do not enter by outrunning the Pharisees in a debate; you enter by exceeding their righteousness in the serene conviction of your true nature. Your kingdom is not a distant city but a present state of awareness you cultivate by imagining the desired state until it feels real. The whisper of the law becomes the assurance that your awareness is the whole of reality, and that by feeling it real within, you witness it without.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state that the law is fulfilled in you now. Feel the I AM within you living this truth until it is vivid as your present experience.
