Neville Goddard on Romans 5:20-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Romans 5 in context

Scripture Focus

20Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

21That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 5:20-21

Biblical Context

The law highlights sin. Grace greatly outmatches sin and reigns through righteousness toward life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the law as a magnifying mirror that awakens the sense of separation; sin appears where awareness forgets its unity. Yet grace is the deeper, irresistible movement of your true self, the I AM, reclaiming dominion. Where sin once reigned unto death, grace reigns through righteousness—the alignment of your consciousness with its divine nature. Not through external rules but through the inner perception that you are one with God, and that life is the present circulation of divine Being. Jesus Christ our Lord embodies this within you—the Christ within, your higher self—who makes eternal life a current experience, not a future aim. When you fix your attention on this inner reality, the contrast between sin and grace dissolves, and your world reflects the risen order of consciousness.
