Neville Goddard on Romans 3:25-26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Romans 3 in context

Scripture Focus

25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Romans 3:25-26

Biblical Context

God has set Jesus forth as a propitiation through faith, to declare God’s righteousness and remit sins of the past through forbearance. At this time He shows His righteousness that the believer, by faith, may be justified.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the inner ear, Romans 3:25-26 speaks not of distant sacrifices, but of an inner alignment. God sets forth Christ as a propitiation through faith in the blood of awareness—the recognition that you are now seen through the I AM as righteous. The remission of sins past arises as you shift your inner state, not by changing God, but by changing what you accept about yourself in this moment. Forbearance becomes the doorway through which the present perception of justice is disclosed: God is not a distant judge, but the steady consciousness you align with. When you believe, you are justified; when you imagine the I AM declaring you just, you enter the scene where time collapses and what you desired appears in your experience. The verse thus invites you to live from the end—the feeling of acceptance now—so that divine justice and your faith are one act. In short, the propitiation is the inner act of choosing to be conscious of your right standing, here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume you are justified now by the I AM, feeling the weight lift as the verdict is pronounced within you. Then revise a memory of a past fault by declaring, 'In this moment I am seen as righteous; all past sins are forgiven in the light of God within me.'
