Grace Versus Duty Within You

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the verse as a doorway between two states. The worker lives in lack, thinking reward must be earned by toil. The believer rests in the One who justifies the ungodly—the I AM within you who forgives and aligns with your true nature. When you insist on debt for every deed, you contract your life to wage; but when you stop assessing yourself by works and instead imagine that your belief, not your labor, has already counted you righteous, you unlock the grace that underwrites every experience. Your faith is not a performance but a recognition; by recognizing your wholeness, you authorize the inner law of your being to reflect it outwardly. This is not rule-keeping but alignment with truth. The ungodly in Romans is simply the one who believes without contrived, self-centered reasoning; the I AM justifies by a leap of trust into your inherent righteousness. Practically, dwell in the feeling of your already existing righteousness and let it inform choices, perceptions, and actions as if they were already done.
