Inner Heirs With Christ

Neville's Inner Vision

To the awakened mind, Romans 8:17 reveals that you are not a future beneficiary but a present I AM—the consciousness that creates. 'Children' denotes your true state, the inner position from which all life flows. 'Heirs of God' means the divine inheritance is your essential condition, and 'joint-heirs with Christ' says your nature shares in the Christ-level of awareness, not in external status. The 'suffer with him' is not about external misfortune; it is the inner surrender of old self-conceptions that no longer serve your divine birth. When you permit that old image to be dissolved, you 'glorify together' by letting the new you stand forth, a reflection of your Father’s reality. The moment you stop negotiating with lack and begin feeling as the I AM that already owns it all, you live from the end you seek. Your imagination is the instrument; your feeling, the key; your attention, the door. The verse invites you to revise your inner state until it is in full accord with your sonship.
