Inner Judgment, Inner Joy
Romans 1:32 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Romans 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Romans 1:32 declares that even knowing God's judgment, some people not only commit the same sins but also delight in those who do them. It highlights how a state of consciousness can remain hardened by judgment and pleasure in others' faults.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, you are not reading about distant deeds but about your own inner mechanism. Knowing the judgment of God means you are aware of the law that every state of consciousness creates its own reality. When you continue to act as if those things are apart from you, you are still investing in death—an inner death that estranges you from life’s fullness. The command is not to punish but to revise the state by which you perceive: you are the I AM, and imagination is your instrument. See that the very act of choosing to despise sinners or to take pleasure in them is a movement within you that keeps you separate from the divine; it is the inner death you fear. To rise, assume a different state: I am the I AM, perceiving all as the action of my own consciousness, capable of transformation. When you feel the reality of oneness, the need to judge dissolves, and the life that flows from love and imagination becomes your new law. In this new inner court, guilt and guilt-pleasure give way to compassionate sight and a birth of genuine, creative order.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and declare, I AM the I AM; I now revise my awareness to see the divine in all acts and persons. Then close your eyes and visualize a scene where you would have judged someone, and replace it with a calm, approving vision, feeling the reality of unity.
