Inner Jew and Heart Circumcision

Romans 2:28-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Romans 2 in context

Scripture Focus

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 2:28-29

Biblical Context

Outward performance does not define the Jew; true circumcision is inward, of the heart, by the Spirit, not the letter. What matters is the inner state of consciousness that praises God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember the verse: a Jew is one inwardly; circumcision is of the heart, in the Spirit, and not in the letter. You are not defined by outward ritual, but by the state of awareness you cultivate. In Neville’s key terms, God is the I AM within you, and reality is formed by your inner conviction. The outward world is a reflection that tells you where your inner life needs revision. If you would embody the 'true Jew,' revise your sense of self until you align with the Spirit—not through rules, but through inner trust and feeling. When you seek the praise of God rather than of men, you release the ego's grip and let the heart lead. The law becomes the living cadence of your inner life. Practically, assume your inward state is already crowned by spiritual life; let that conviction rearrange your experiences until what you see confirms your inner condition.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and adopt the feeling of your inward state as the real you. Silently affirm, 'I am inwardly circumcised by the Spirit; I am the I AM of my life now.'
