Inner Scriptural Hope Unfolding
Romans 15:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Romans 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Romans 15:4 says that what was written in former times was for our instruction, so that through the patience and comfort of the scriptures we might have hope.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the word written as a map of your own consciousness. In the Neville manner, the 'things written aforetime' are not distant events but inner states you can assume now. Patience is not waiting passively but holding to the I AM as the feeling of already possessing the solid, comforting knowledge that you are, here and now, the embodiment of divine truth. The scriptures teach you to relax into that state until hope arises as a natural sensation, because hope is the result of recognizing your own essence—your awareness—rather than chasing outside outcomes. By keeping faith with the present I AM, you reinterpret every line as a reminder that your imagination is the instrument by which reality is formed. The comfort spoken of is the inner consolation that comes from knowing you are the one who writes your reality, and therefore the one who can revise it toward a hopeful future. If you dwell in that inner witness, patience and comfort become the very faculties that produce hope in your life.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise a scene where you are securely in the state of hope, sustained by the I AM; silently affirm, I AM, and imagine the desired outcome as already real.
