Neville Goddard on Romans 3:9-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Romans 3 in context

Scripture Focus

9What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

10As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

11There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

Romans 3:9-11

Biblical Context

Paul states that both Jews and Gentiles are under sin; there is none righteous, none understand, none seek God.

Neville's Inner Vision

You're not being described as a condemned creature, but as a consciousness under a spell of separation. Romans 3:9-11 names a universal condition - Jews and Gentiles alike, all under sin - a story of the mind's habit, not a verdict on worth. In Neville's key, sin is a state of consciousness, a belief that you are apart from the One Mind. None righteous, none understandeth, none seeketh after God: these are not outer facts about you, but inner tendencies that arise when you forget who you are. The moment you forget, you imagine yourself as lack, as weakness, as a seeker without the One who already understands. Yet in the very act of turning your attention inward, you discover that the I AM within you is the source of all righteousness, all understanding, and all seeking. Every eye you meet mirrors a state entertained within your own mind. The healing, then, is not changing others but revising your state to the recognition that you are the I AM here and now, fully present, fully knowing, and fully aligned with God.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, breathe, and assume the I AM as your constant companion, repeating, 'I am the I AM.' Revise any sense of separation by feeling deeply that you already understand and seek God from within.
