Grace Reigns Within: Romans 5

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the offense not as an external act, but as a belief that you are separated from the I AM. The verse tells us that the one offense brought death, yet the grace of God present as the gift of righteousness abounded unto many. In the light of the I AM, God is not distant punishment but the consciousness you awaken within. The many offences are the raw material by which you revise your self concept; they invite you to return to the awareness that you are one with the life that gives breath. When you imagine the height of grace as already yours, causation shifts from lack to abundance. The gift of righteousness is not earned; it is claimed by the state of consciousness that you now live as the I AM. Therefore you reign in life by recognizing that grace governs your being, not as distant mercy, but as your immediate reality. Your present is created through interior conviction that you and Jesus Christ are one in divine life, here and now, and your imagination is the key.
