Read Romans 9 in context

Scripture Focus

6Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:

Romans 9:6

Biblical Context

Romans 9:6 teaches that not all who are born of Israel are Israel in the inner sense; the true Israel is the inner state of consciousness that aligns with God’s word.

Neville's Inner Vision

Romans 9:6 speaks to the power of consciousness rather than lineage. The word of God has not failed, but the outer sign of being ‘Israel’ does not guarantee inner identification with that word. The true Israel is the living state of awareness that corresponds to God’s redemptive reality within you. If you rely on outward ancestry or circumstances to prove promise, you are mistaking the sign for the substance. The word operates in you when you consciously align with I AM—the ever-present awareness that you are already clothed in the fulfillment of the divine word. The verse invites a revision: you need not wait for the outer world to affirm you; assume the inner state and let imagination translate that state into your life. The shift is a change of being, not a debate of genealogy. Persist in the inner conviction, and the outer conditions will reflect the inner reality that you have already embraced.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and repeat, 'I AM the inner Israel now,' feeling that steady state settle into your body. Let that sense guide your thoughts and choices today.
