Nearness Of Righteousness Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Do you hear the inward invitation? You are the stouthearted, feeling distant from righteousness, yet the I AM within is speaking. This verse does not threaten distance; it reveals a shift of awareness. The righteousness God brings near is not earned outside you; it is your own state of aligned consciousness arising in the now. Salvation is not a distant event but a present recognition—an alignment with the truth that you are never truly apart from God. Zion is the inner sanctuary of awareness where this salvation resides; to place salvation there is to fix your attention on your true nature, not your past deeds. The covenant loyalty is your steadfast assumption that you already are what you seek. When you assume it, when you feel it as real right now, the far-offness fades, and the immediate presence of God—your I AM—appears. Your work is to revise the belief in distance, to practice the one act: I am near; I am righteousness; I am salvation now.
