Reign Over Sin in Romans 6:12

Romans 6:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Romans 6 in context

Scripture Focus

12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Romans 6:12

Biblical Context

Romans 6:12 commands that sin not reign in the mortal body, so you do not obey its lusts. The verse invites seeing sin as an inner condition to be overcome from within.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, this verse reveals that sin is not an enemy in a distant world, but a movement of consciousness that appears when you forget your true nature. You are not created to obey the lusts of the flesh; you are the ruler of your inner kingdom. When the mind identifies with a desire, the body seems to reign, yet this is only a trance of perception. By aligning with the I AM, you shift the center of gravity from reaction to decision, and the impulse loses its grip. See sin as a signpost pointing to a forgotten sense of self; revise the scene by declaring, I am the I AM, and this presence now governs every cell. In obedience to grace, the old appetite transforms into a steady, quiet power that serves your higher purpose. The body becomes a vehicle, not a master, as you dwell in the awareness that you are more than the lusts you feel.

Practice This Now

Sit comfortably, repeat 'I AM' and declare, 'I govern this mortal body.' Visualize the impulse as a cloud that dissolves under your gaze, leaving you calm and free.
