Inner Circumcision Realized

Romans 2:25-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Romans 2 in context

Scripture Focus

25For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
28For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Romans 2:25-29

Biblical Context

Paul contrasts outward, ritual circumcision with inner righteousness, declaring that true spiritual status comes from the heart’s alignment with the Spirit, not the letter of the law.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here Paul crowns a simple truth: God does not praise effort performed on the flesh, but the posture of the heart. You may keep every outward law and still be uncircumcised in the real sense, unless your awareness is aligned with the righteousness that already dwells in you. The ' Jew ' is not he who bears a sign, but he who bears the sign inwardly, in the Spirit. The distinction is not about tradition but about consciousness. When you live from the assumed reality that you are already the inward Jew, you stop measuring yourself by the letter and you soften into a unity with the divine law. Your external actions become a natural expression of an inner alignment; you do not strive, you awaken to what you already are. The uncircumcised by nature who keeps the law is, in the inner economy, more alive to righteousness than the outwardly circumcised who misses the inner cadence. The moment you imagine the heart purified by Spirit, you are no longer separated from God; you are the living sign of that unity.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the truth that you are inwardly circumcised by the Spirit; feel the heart softened and aligned with divine law. Repeat quietly, 'I am one with God in Spirit,' until that feeling of reality becomes your daily center.
