Romans 14:14 Inner Cleanliness

Neville's Inner Vision

Claim: I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; impurity is a mental verdict you place on a thing. The verse invites you to see that the only uncleanness exists in how you esteem or label what you encounter; thus reality shifts when you revise your inner state. In Neville's terms your state of consciousness is the sole creator of experience, and the external world merely reflects that inner condition. If you feel something is unclean, pause and remember that the Lord Jesus within declares all is clean by nature. This recognition dissolves barriers and holiness becomes a matter of alignment rather than adherence to external rules. Change occurs when you imagine yourself free of self-imposed contamination and you feel the release that comes from treating every object, person, and action as clean. Your power to convert impurity into grace proves that reality is a reflection of inner conviction. So embody the inner standard and the world will mirror it back to you.
