And in that way, we become real Trinitarian Christians, don't we?
Isn't it true how, it's true as you look back through the history of the church, and I think it's probably true in some of our personal lives as well, that we kind of bounce from one person of the Trinity to another person to another person, and very difficult for us to keep a Trinitarian character to our Christian lives.
But the whole of Scripture from beginning to end help us to know the Father, know the Son, and know the Holy Spirit.
And so this is what we're going to explore together from the beginning of the Bible to the end of the Bible.

but the power of the person of God hovering over the face of the waters.
When the earth was without form and void,
Now, why does Genesis 1 verse 2 speak about the Holy Spirit hovering across the face of the waters?
You may use different verbs in your Christian life when you describe the work of the Holy Spirit.
