Neville Goddard on Romans 6:4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Romans 6 in context

Scripture Focus

4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Romans 6:4

Biblical Context

The verse speaks of burial with Christ into death and rising into a life animated by divine power. It declares that the old self dies so we may walk as the new us.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, Romans 6:4 reveals a state of consciousness rather than a historical event. 'Buried with him by baptism into death' means you surrender the old, limited sense of self to the depths of awareness, letting go of fear, lack, and past identifications. 'Like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father' signals the rise of your real self—the I AM within—through the light and recognition of the Father present in you. When you assume the end, you do not wait for a future resurrection; you inhabit the experience of renewal now by feeling it real. 'Even so we also should walk in newness of life' becomes a daily practice: walk as one who already lives in the new state, and let your thoughts, feelings, and actions reflect that finished picture. The glory of the Father is the luminous awareness that shines through your inner senses, transforming your world from within as you align with your true self.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the end—the new life you intend—feels real now. Revise the old self by declaring, 'I am the I AM, risen in this moment,' and let that feeling color your next choices.
