Reigning Grace Within Romans 5

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that the 'offense' is a stubborn belief in separation—an inner thought that life is scarcity and lack. In that view, death seems to reign because perception rules you from outside. But in the same breath the text announces a greater reality: abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness are already present in your consciousness, waiting to be received. When you 'receive' this grace, you reign in life by one, Jesus Christ—the inner Christ, the I AM that you are. The obedience spoken of is not external performance but the alignment of your inner state with the divine order. As you relinquish the old record of condemnation and identify with the state of righteousness, your inner atmosphere shifts; sin ceases to dominate and the life-affirming energy flows through you. This is not a future event but a present change of state. The means is simple: dwell in the awareness that you are already justified, already reconciled, already blessed by grace. Your daily world then rearranges itself to reflect that sovereignty.
