Seeing Christ Beyond Appearance

Neville's Inner Vision

All that you perceive as outward is the surface of an inward state. To declare you belong to Christ is to acknowledge you are the Christ-consciousness now, not awaiting a future change. The I AM—the constant awareness you mistake for a separate self—generates every image, every encounter. When you affirm that you and Christ are one, you erase the line between 'they belong' and 'we belong,' recognizing the same truth resides in you. The verse bids you stop measuring by appearances and rest in the inner identity that is already complete. Your world mirrors your inner state; therefore revise the sense of self until it feels true: I am Christ's now, and all are one in that being. Salvation and redemption become present-tense experiences as you shift perception from outer form to inner essence; your outer conditions answer the inner claim.
