God the Holy Spirit / Note2
The Holy Spirit-Agent in Creation
Genesis 1:2
The third Person of the Trinity, God the Holy Spirit, has always existed just like God the Father has (see the concept note at Gen. 1:26-28, "Trinity in Creation"). He has been working on your behalf since before time began.
The Holy Spirit was present and actively involved with God in the creation of the universe:
"The Spirit of God was hovering over
the face of the waters" (Gen. 1:2).
"By His Spirit He adorned the heav-
ens" (Job 26:13).
The use of the plural pronouns "Us" and "Our" in Genesis 1:26 suggests the cooperative work of the Trinity during creation.
The Bible gradually reveals more about the person and work of the Holy Spirit, especially beginning in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John).
There Jesus explained about the Helper who would come to indwell believers after His own death, resurrection, and ascension.
