Neville Goddard on Romans 10:3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Romans 10 in context

Scripture Focus

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 10:3

Biblical Context

Romans 10:3 states that people miss the mark by pursuing their own righteousness instead of submitting to the righteousness God provides. It contrasts inner alignment with outward effort.

Neville's Inner Vision

Being ignorant of God's righteousness is not a moral failing, but a misalignment in your inner state. The righteousness God offers is a nature, a quality of consciousness, not a set of external duties. When you try to establish your own righteousness, you are resisting the intrinsic justice of your true self. Submission, in Neville's sense, means letting the I AM settle as your center, allowing awareness to recognize what is already true. The moment you cease the inner debate and affirm that you are the righteousness of God now, you align your imagination with that truth. Your thoughts then move from striving to simply acknowledging what already is—God's life reflecting through you. Notice that you are not petitioning for righteousness but stepping into a state where it is your present experience. Practice this inside, and your outer life softly catches up, as if the inner law has rewritten the visible world.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and assume the state, 'I am the righteousness of God now,' feeling it as your present reality. Let any lingering sense of lack revise into abundance by resting in that inner I AM.
