Neville Goddard on Romans 10:8-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Romans 10 in context

Scripture Focus

8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Romans 10:8-10

Biblical Context

Romans 10:8–10 says the message of faith is near you—in your heart and on your lips. If you believe Jesus is raised and you confess with your mouth, you are saved; belief leads to righteousness and confession completes the process of salvation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this text lies a radical present-tense truth: God is not afar but the I AM within you. The 'word' of faith is not a creed from without but a living conviction you awaken in your chest. When you assume that you already are the one who believes and speaks the truth, your heart flows with righteousness and your words become the outward echo of inner reality. Confession is not a form to perform; it is the outward custom of an inward certainty. The resurrection of Jesus, then, is the inner awakening that you can realize right now—the power to renew your life is resident in your awareness. Do not wait for salvation as a future event; feel, declare, and inhabit it this moment, and your outer world will reflect that inward truth. The word is near you because you are the I AM, and faith is simply the means by which you touch that eternal reality.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you are already the one who believes and confesses. In quiet, repeat silently, 'The word is near me; I am the I AM in this moment,' and feel the truth as a living conviction shaping your life.
