Romans 7:3 Inner Liberation
Romans 7:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Romans 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states that a wife is bound to her husband while he lives; once he dies, she is free to remarry without being called an adulteress.
Neville's Inner Vision
Romans 7:3 unveils the inner truth that the binding is not to a body but to a state of consciousness. The 'husband' is the old law of limitation you have believed yourself under, and the 'adultery' is trying to hold a new power while the old proclaims its claim. When you declare the death of the old self—in your imagination, not in the outer world—you are free from the letter of the law and no longer bound by its condemnation. In that moment, you may enter a new marriage with a higher truth, not by breaking rules, but by discarding the belief that you must remain confined to yesterday's state. The new state is simply awareness that you are the I AM, the living possibility through which all things are given; the moment you feel that you are already in possession of the desired life, you have removed the barrier of necessity. You do not seek to be faithful to two states; you allow one to die and the other to live, and thus the experience becomes your natural expression.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the old law dissolving; then feel the new state as already real in you.
