Inner Law Against God
Romans 8:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Romans 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The carnal mind is enmity against God and cannot submit to God's law; those who identify with the flesh cannot please God.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the seeker, Romans 8:7-8 reveals a simple inner law: the state you occupy is your relation to God. The carnal mind is not a thing out there; it is a ruling identification—an egoic vibration that imagines separation from the God-state. Because that state insists on appearances and control, it remains enmity to the I AM, resisting the law that governs all. When you identify with the flesh, you feel distant from grace and seek to please God by effort, thus you cannot truly be subject to Him. The healing is not by warring with the flesh but by returning to the one I AM within and allowing your imagination to align with the divine order. Your real self is that I AM—the law at work in you; as you dwell in that awareness, the mind that was 'in enmity' becomes a conduit of grace, and you cease to be in opposition to God. Treat the verse as an invitation: shift your identity from the carnal to the divine, and life will begin to reflect the harmony of the inner law you now affirm.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the I AM as the sole law in you, letting the sense of unity replace the sense of separation. Repeat softly, 'I am now in perfect accord with divine law; I please God by waking to this truth,' and feel it real.
