The Holy Spirit Active in the Incarnation and the Resurrection

[Bob]

This was put together by Spiros Zodhiates in an attempt to bring the Holy Ghost fully into the Trinity. I never looked at these verses this way but it is brilliant way to connect the dots as they say.

The Holy Spirit Active in the Incarnation and the Resurrection

A.      In Luke 1:35 , it was the Holy Spirit who was to come upon Mary and the power of the Highest (see Rom. 1:4 —“with power”— δύναμισ , the same word).
B.      “… The Spirit of holiness …” of Romans 1:4 , actually means the Holy Spirit, completing the Trinity of the Godhead being the Gospel of God in the manifestation of the Son as the God-Man. The word “holiness,” ἁγιωσύνη , occurs only three times (Rom. 1:4 ; 2 Cor 7:1 ; 1 Thess. 3:13 ) and means a holiness that is inherent and not acquired. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit did not achieve holiness but are inherently holy due to their essential nature of Deity. All three personalities of the Godhead were responsible for the incarnation and for the resurrection. This also applies to the Gospel of God in that no man can be saved unless the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment and of the truth about Christ (John 16:8 , 13 , 14 ), Jesus saves him (Acts 4:8-12 ), and the Father accepts him (John 1:12 ; Eph. 2:18 ; Luke 5:11-32 ).
