One Body in Christ: Inner Unity

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner cinema of your life, Romans 12:4-5 reveals that there is but one body and many functions, yet the body is sustained by the same Life. You are not divided into rival parts; you are a single I AM, wearing many offices as the mind wears many thoughts. The apparent 'members'—family, friends, colleagues, even enemies—are not separate beings but movements of the same consciousness. To know this is to awaken; to forget it is to dream separation. When you accept that you and your fellows are one body in Christ, you align your inner atmosphere with harmony. Your office is the particular faculty you express—love, faith, service, a skill—yet all offices exist in the same Life, and all serve the whole. The more you dwell in the feeling of oneness, the more your outer world mirrors it: cooperation, mutual aid, and shared joy appear as natural outcomes of your inner agreement. So revise every sense of lack by declaring, 'I and my fellow members are one body, one life, sharing one Christ.'
