6For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

Romans 5:6-7

Biblical Context

Romans 5:6-7 presents that in our weakness, Christ died for the ungodly; it also notes that hardly anyone dies for a righteous person, yet grace operates beyond ordinary merit.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Goddard lens, the verse is an invitation to turn inward. When you felt utterly powerless, the inner Christ died to the old self so that your true I AM could awaken. The 'ungodly' are merely the neglected states of mind you call unworthy; in the inner realm they are ripe for grace. 'In due time' is the moment your consciousness aligns with that fact of being, not a distant hour on a clock. The statement that scarcely anyone would die for a righteous man points to natural compassion, yet the worldly mercy pales beside the abundance of grace that reaches the mind willing to release control. The real note is that grace comes to those who cease resisting the truth that they are already loved, already whole. By choosing to identify with the I AM, you consent to the inner death of limitation and welcome the life of Christ within. This is not about external doctrine, but the revival of consciousness that rewrites your sense of self and reality itself.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, breathe, and declare, 'I AM the I AM; I now die to the old self and awaken to the Christ within.' Then feel a warm current of realization expanding your sense of self as the old separation dissolves.
