Inner Turn from Sin to Righteousness

Romans 6:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Romans 6 in context

Scripture Focus

17But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
Romans 6:17-18

Biblical Context

Paul thanks God for a shift: believers move from serving sin to obeying from the heart, and, being freed from sin, they become servants of righteousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the terms 'servants of sin' and 'servants of righteousness' are inner states, not places on a map. The 'form of doctrine' delivered you is a pattern you welcomed in the heart; when you obeyed it there, you shifted allegiance from the old self to the new. The freedom from sin is not a separate intervention, but a turning of your attention to the truth of I AM—awareness itself now choosing the righteous form. As you align with that inner pattern, sin loses its power because you have ceased to identify with it. You become the servant of righteousness by repeatedly living from the consciousness that you are already the righteousness you seek. The inner move is enough to rewrite the outer scene; imagination is the instrument by which you re-embody the truth. Therefore, feel the reality of your new nature, carry that feeling through your days, and notice how actions, habits, and outcomes rearrange to reflect the state you inhabit.

Practice This Now

Practice: sit quiet, assume the state by saying, 'I am the righteousness of God now,' feel it in your chest. Rehearse the inner movement of obeying from the heart.
