The Spirit of God is present from the very beginning of creation, as seen in the account of the creation of the world in Genesis 1:2. The Spirit of God was "hovering" over the waters, bringing order to the chaos and initiating the creative work of God. This act demonstrates the power and presence of the Spirit in the act of creation, shaping the world according to God's will. The Spirit's role in creation is not passive but active, as He works alongside the Father and the Son to bring about God's purposes. This verse reminds us that the Spirit is not a later addition to the Godhead but has been involved in God's creative work from the very beginning. The Spirit continues to work today, bringing new creation to the hearts of believers, transforming them into the image of Christ.
