Inner Salvation of the LORD

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner world is the stage for this ancient invitation. Isaiah 45:17-20 presents the LORD as the I AM within you, the living order that undergirds every thought and feeling. Salvation is everlasting because it is a state of awareness, not a ritual external to you. When the text says God created the heavens and formed the earth, interpret it as a declaration that your inner environment is purposefully formed to be inhabited by consciousness that knows itself as the I AM. There is none else means there is no other power in your experience but the awareness you identify with here and now. The assertion that righteousness is spoken and that you should draw near is the invitation to revise your sense of separation and to assemble your thoughts around the one central condition: I AM. The appeal to the nations to abandon vain worship reveals that false beliefs about power and control have no authority to shape your life once you turn attention inward. In this light, the outer world becomes the visible expression of your inner alignment with the I AM.
