Genesis 1:1-3
1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Here in the first three verses of the Bible we have the Trinity hard at work, working together. God the Father has in mind to create light so he uses God the Spirit and says, God the Word “let there be light.” In the next verse we read that God the Father sees all that He, the Spirit and the Word have accomplished and saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:4
And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
So who is this Holy Spirit?
Genesis 2:7
And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
There is the Holy Spirit. He is the breathing of life. He is the invisible power that creates the Word of God. We are made in this same image.
God the Holy Spirit: (bottom line):
When we communicate, three things happen. 1. God the father, that is us, determines what is going to be said. 2. We breath in, a gift from the one true God by the way, and then breath out. As we breath out, our vocal cords, mouth and tongue, which are god the father, form the holy spirit (breath) into audible sounds or words which others and ourselves hear, 3. god the son.
So when Jesus said things like, "I only say what the Father tells me to say" he wasn't lying. If you are the Word of God the only sound you will make is that which comes from God the Father. If you speak to someone in English, it is not going to come out of your mouth in Spanish.
Jesus is the Son of God because it is God who formed him into the Word using the Holy Spirit to create that Word. He is God's "son" because it is that terminology that God uses to relate to us in that we are the creator and maker of our words.
Jesus Christ is the only begotten of God because God has only himself in which to speak from. Everything God says is his begotten. Jesus was His word made flesh thereby having a relationship with man and taking on the term Son.
God wants us to be able to relate to him, to know him, to love him and obey him. He has gone to great lengths to create for us ways to know who he is and he places these truths in everyday, common things like communication.
