The Inner Law of the Heart

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the 'law' spoken of is not an outside code but the living awareness you already possess. When Paul says those who sin without law perish without law, he pictures acts born of forgetfulness; when one sins in the law, one merely performs obedience without inner transformation. The Gentiles, who have not the letter of the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, because the work of the law is written in their hearts; their conscience bears witness, sometimes accusing, sometimes excusing. This shows that the kingdom is not distant but living in your own consciousness. In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel, the true judge is your I AM—the awareness that observes and can revise. Your identity is the observer who can choose to dwell in the inner law rather than in a produced image of obedience. If you assume the state of the law written on your heart, your thoughts and actions align with it; judgment ceases to threaten and becomes a harmonizing reveal.
