There

Lessons are learned, not conceived.
Yet confessions are not to be kept.

Who Am I?

Men ought to regard me as servant of Christ and as am entrusted with the secret things of God. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. I care very little if I am judged by others or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me.

God has put me on display at the end of the procession, like a man condemned to die in the arena. I have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to men. I am a fool for Christ. To this very hour I go hungry and thirsty, I am in rags, I am brutally treated, I am homeless. I work hard with my own hands. When I am cursed, I bless; when I am persecuted, I endure it; when I am slandered, I answer kindly. Up to this moment I have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.


I am a minister of the Gospel of Christ. I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. I am a witness am not my own. I am not of this world. I am not under the law. I am not a slave. I am not inferior. I am not alone. I am bold. I am not ashamed of who I am. I am an ambassador for Christ. I am jealous for the saints with a godly jealousy. I am an intercessor who stands in the gap. I am Christ's. I am the friend of God. I am a servant of God. I am a part of the Body of Christ. I am one of the saints in Christ Jesus. I am the Bride of Jesus Christ. I am a fellow citizen with all the saints in the Kingdom of God. I am the temple of the Lord and the Holy Spirit dwells within me. I am redeemed. I am bought with a price. I am Blood bought. I am valuable to God. I am one in which God has an inheritance. I am reconciled to God. I am made clean. I am saved by the Gospel. I am born again of incorruptible seed. I am a new creation. I am in Christ Jesus. I am complete in Him. I am free from the control of man. I am free from sin. I am free from the law of sin and death. I am free from the curse of the law. I am free indeed. I am called according to His purpose. I am called into the fellowship of His Son. I am called to peace. I am called to liberty. I am called to His eternal glory. I am God's field. I am God's building. I am a branch connected into the Vine Jesus Christ and His life flows through me. I am healed from my infirmities. I am immune from every sickness and disease. I am an epistle of Christ, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God. I am Abraham's seed. I am an heir according to the promises made to Abraham.. I am part of a chosen generation. I am a member of a royal priesthood. I am a citizen of a holy nation. I am one of His own special people. I am an heir of God a joint heir with Jesus Christ. I am member of the household of God. I am nothing without God, but because of Jesus Christ, I have become a co-inheritor with Christ, partaker of His Divine Nature, co-equal with believers at the foot of the cross, a cell in the Bride's body, part of Christ's body, and Christ is part of the Trinity

That's just who I am, for this life is not about ME; it's about JESUS.

Trinity Unveiled

So many have tried to solve it.
So many have failed.
They knew it was a mystery--
A mystery so hard to explain
A mystery forever
But who knows the mind of the Lord
Than the Lord himself?

The Trinity--One God, Three persona.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
God in three forms.
The Holy Trinity

Creation's point of view.
The nature of the Creator can always be determined in His creations in the same way we recognize the fingerprints of the potter in his art.

The universe encompasses all the creations. It actually is composed of two different words--'uni' means 'one', and 'verse' means 'sentence'. It also indicates that God actually created the universe in one sentence.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth

Notice that it covered the three major trinity of the creation namely time (beginning), space (heavens), and matter (earth). The three are not independent on one another. Each one cannot exist without the other two.  

Space is the container of matter and no matter can occupy the same space in the same time.

The same trend goes with God Himself.
The Father is the thought behind everything.  
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14

The Son is the manifestation and the image of the invisible Father.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. Colossians 1:15
I and the Father are one. John 10:30
 Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. John 14:9b

And the Holy Spirit is the experience driven by the Son.
But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. John 14:26

Faith, Hope and Love
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

God can also be related to the three gifts that will remain. Since God will never fade away, the three can stand as a trinity same with God.

The Father.                    Faith begins from hearing the Word.
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. Romans 10:17

The Son.                        Love is the manifestation of faith.
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Galatians 5:6b

The Holy Spirit.            Hope is what you get because you received the faith.
But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope. Galatians 5:5

The three will always stand as one.

The faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the gospel. Colossians 1:5 

We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 1:3 

But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 1 Thessalonians 5:8
