Titus 1:13-16 Inner Purity

Neville's Inner Vision

Truth is an inner state you are aware of; the witness in Titus 1:13-16 invites you to train your inner mouth and hand. The 'witness' is true within, and you rebuke the scattered pictures that would derail your faith, not to punish, but to return to your fixed identity in God. When you commit to the truth, you sharply release thoughts that pretend to be truth but move you away from it, for they turn you from your sacred present. To the pure, all things are pure because your state of consciousness colors every perception; to the defiled, nothing is pure, and even good thoughts are colored by doubt. You may profess that you know God, but if your works do not spring from the God within, you seem disobedient to your own good. The remedy is inner alignment: assume you are sound in faith, that your mind is cleansed by purity, and that your conscience rests in unity with God. In this conviction, outward life flows with integrity, and good works become natural expressions of your inner knowing.
