Zeal Without Knowledge

Romans 10:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Romans 10 in context

Scripture Focus

2For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
Romans 10:2-3

Biblical Context

Paul notes that they have zeal for God but not knowledge, being ignorant of God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own; they have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Zeal without knowledge is zeal trying to prove itself by outward acts. In Romans, zeal is alive, but it is not guided by the inner knowledge of who you are as I AM. You are told that God’s righteousness is not a fragment of doctrine you chase, but a state of consciousness you inhabit. When you go about to establish your own righteousness, you refuse to submit to the righteousness of God; you still identify with lack and separation. Neville's approach is to revise the inner scene. Choose a clear assumption: I am the righteousness of God, right now. Feel it as fact; let the body, the mind, the day reflect that settled state. In this revised feeling-world, the old zeal directed at proving oneself dissolves into steady confidence, and knowledge becomes certainty. The outer events then align with the inner fact, because your awareness has taken the throne. You have submitted, and submission is not weakness but alignment with divine order. The verse invites you to stop fighting the wind and become the wind—consciousness acting from its own truth.

Practice This Now

Assume the state 'I am the righteousness of God' and feel it as real for a few minutes; let that conviction guide your next actions as if it were already true.
