Neville Goddard on Romans 3:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Romans 3 in context

Scripture Focus

7For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

8And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

Romans 3:7-8

Biblical Context

Paul exposes how a claimed 'lie' may seem to magnify God's glory, then condemns the idea that doing evil could produce good. The true force is the inner alignment with God's truth in consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the verse as a mirror held up to your own mind. The 'truth of God' is not a record of external deeds but the steadfast light of the I AM within you. When you imagine that your 'lie' could enkindle more glory, you are only proving how the mind divides itself between appearances and reality. In Neville fashion, the problem is not God or others but your own state of awareness. If you cling to a narrative that 'evil may come to good,' you are rehearsing a contract with doubt, and you awaken a sense of separation from the one life that truly animates the world. The cure is simple: return to the awareness that you are the I AM, and that every outcome stems from that inner fact. Let the mind revise its premise: 'There is only God, and I am that God in expression.' With that revision, the apparent lie dissolves into truth, judgments soften, and grace appears as your natural, immediate experience.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the state 'I AM here and now.' Revise the thought 'evil brings good' to 'the good I am is already here; I choose it now, feel it real.'
