Neville Goddard on Romans 1:1-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Romans 1 in context

Scripture Focus

1Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

2(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

3Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

4And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

5By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

6Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

Romans 1:1-6

Biblical Context

Paul introduces himself as a servant called to preach the gospel of God, promised by the prophets, centered on Jesus, and inviting all nations to faith.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the letter not as history but as your inner speech. Paul is the I AM in motion, a servant awakened, called to announce the gospel of God through your own imagining. The gospel is not distant but a living force separating you unto truth. The prophets' aforetime promise is the idea that your consciousness has long anticipated the coming of your Christ within, made flesh in your daily living. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the action of your risen self, a power declared to be Son through the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead. In your inner economy, grace and apostleship come as you align with that reality, choosing obedience to the faith, not as compliance to rules, but as fidelity to the truth your imagination has embraced. This gospel reaches all nations of your awareness: every thought, every feeling, every perception is invited to awaken to the one called, the one being, the one life. Your inner Paul is speaking; answer with conviction, and watch your world rearrange to reflect that truth.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the called one and feel the gospel as active in your life; say, 'I am the gospel in action, sent to awaken all within my awareness.' Then revise any doubt until this becomes your felt reality.
