The true and living God is one in being and three in person. A mystery? Yes! A contradiction? No. He has eternally existed in the three distinct persons of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each of those distinct persons is God, and yet there is only one God." [youtube id="iJWbI-ptHEs"] The post The Tri-Unity of God first appeared on The Bridge .

Do not lie to one another, since you stripped off the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self, which is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created it— a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, and free, but Christ is all, and in all.

As a minister of Christ Jesus, Paul sought the unreached, labored for the peace of the church, expected God to use him, and coveted the prayers of God's people. There are many gold nuggets in Romans 15:20-33 that each Christian can apply to their own life and ministry.

Paul was a minister of Christ Jesus. In Romans 15:14-33 we see 7 character traits of a minister of Christ. Every Christian is a servant of Christ, so there is much in this passage that we can apply to our lives, whether or not we are a pastor, missionary or elder of a church, or just an ordinary Christian.

We are called to accept one another, because Christ has accepted us. He accepted the Jews by confirming the promises given to the fathers. He accepted the Gentiles by bestowing saving mercy upon them. And He did it all that they (and we) may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit!

Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands— remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
