The works of God are connected with the Holy Spirit. Creation and resurrection both involve Him.

Job
said, “The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty has given me life.” (Job 33:4) David
piggybacked on that and said, “You send forth Your Spirit, they are created.” (Ps. 104:30) And we must
remember that it takes a God, not an impersonal presence or power to bring Christ to Mary. At
Pentecost the Spirit also made Jesus very real to all willing recipients. The Holy Spirit is considered equal
with the Father and the Son in the baptismal formula (Matt. 28:19), the apostolic blessing (2 Cor. 13:14),
and the spiritual gifts passage (1 Cor. 12:4-6). So from eternity He lived within the Godhead as the third
member. The Father, Son and Spirit are equally self-existent. And though each is equal, an economy of
function operates within the Trinity. Perhaps the best way to understand the truth of the Holy Spirit is to
see Him through Jesus. You see when the Spirit comes He doesn’t come in His own right, carrying His
own credentials. He doesn’t say pray to Me, worship Me, come to Me, live for Me. His activity in history
has and does center in Christ’s mission of salvation to the world. The Holy Spirit was actively involved in
Christ’s birth (Luke 1:35), confirmed His public ministry at baptism (Matt. 3:16, 17), and brought the
reality of Christ’s atoning sacrifice and resurrection to humanity (Rom. 8:11). It seems the Scriptures
indicate the Spirit’s role is one of executor. When the Father gave His Son to the world He was
conceived by the Holy Spirit (Matt. 1:18- 20). The Holy Spirit came to complete the plan, to make it a
reality. He was present at creation and His intimate involvement is clearly highlighted in Scripture (Gen
1:2). Life’s origin and maintenance depends on His operation;
