One in Christ: Inner Covenant Now

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of this text as the revelation that your inner world is the kingdom of God already, and you are its heir by acknowledging your true nature. The phrase 'by faith in Christ Jesus' means you awaken to the reality that your consciousness is Christ, not a separate ego. To be baptized into Christ is to immerse your entire sense of self in the living idea of Christ—the inner garment that insists you are complete, lacking nothing. When you put on Christ, you wear the unity of God as your normal state, and the false sense of division between Jew and Greek, bond and free, male and female, dissolves into one energy—the Christ in you. If you belong to Christ, you are Abraham's seed; inheritance is your present circumstance, a motion of consciousness rather than a future event. The promise is not a distant grant but a realized condition of awareness you can cultivate today. You do not obtain this by striving; you assume its truth and feel it now, and your world follows the inner certainty that you are God’s offspring in perpetual unity.
