Law of Faith, Not Works

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the verse asks, where is boasting? It is excluded. The 'law' here is not a catalog of rules to chase but a principle of inner alignment. When you consent to the law of faith—trust in the I AM within—you no longer measure yourself by external deeds. For by insisting you are justified by faith, you cease proving yourself through works and enter the one reality you cannot deny: you are the I AM conscious of itself. The external law was never your true ruler; it mirrored the mind’s restless striving. As you dwell in the awareness that you are already accepted, you revise your sense of self from lack to sufficiency, from effort to repose. Your inner posture births your outer life; the moment you feel the presence of the I AM as now, the sensation of justification becomes your state. Faith is trust in the unseen; it is the inner certainty that what you are is what God is expressing. Let imagination reform your sense of self, and deeds will emerge from the guaranteed truth that you are already righteous in consciousness.
