Neville Goddard on Romans 15:5-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Romans 15 in context

Scripture Focus

5Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:

6That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

Romans 15:5-7

Biblical Context

This passage calls for inner harmony and outward praise: God grants patience and consolation so believers align in thought and speech, receiving each other as Christ received them, to glorify God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the verse speaks of a state of consciousness, not a treaty among strangers. The God of patience and consolation is the I AM within you, and He grants you to be likeminded toward another according to Christ Jesus. This is not an appeal to external agreement but an inner alignment of your mind with the Christ within every brother and sister. When you assume you and they share one mind and one mouth, you are glorifying God in your very being, for thoughts and words become the instruments by which creation is formed. The command to receive one another is a revise-your-belief moment: see in the other the same divine pattern you recognize in yourself. As you persist in this inner reception, the other's presence ceases to divide you and instead advances your common purpose to glorify God. Remember: unity is already established in consciousness; your task is to dwell in it until your outward life reflects that inner harmony.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and silently declare, 'I am one with you in Christ.' Then revise any grievance by affirming, 'We share one mind and one mouth, glorifying God together; I receive you now as Christ received me.'
