Joy in Atonement Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, Romans 5:11 reveals a shift of vantage: joy in God is not a distant future prize but a state you awaken to in consciousness. God stands for the I Am—awareness itself—that you are. Jesus Christ is the bridge of awareness by which you enter the consciousness of your oneness with God. The atonement is an inner alignment, the moment your mind accepts that separation is only a belief in need of revision. Therefore, to joy in God is to dwell in the conviction that you are already at one with the I Am, and that through this recognition the sense of lack dissolves. The outward symbols of sacrifice and redemption are signs of your inner decision to accept the truth of unity. When you truly inhabit this view, gratitude and praise arise naturally, and the atonement becomes your daily felt experience rather than an external transaction. Practice invites you to revise: assume the state of oneness, feel the joy that flows from that awareness, and watch circumstances align with it.
