The Omnipresent Holy Spirit & Trinity

The famous Biblical episode of the apostles receiving the Holy Spirit during Pentecost in Acts 2 is a fulfillment of Jesus' promise of a Comforter and Counselor that will remind them (and us) of the work and salvation of Jesus (see John 14:26). But, this is not the first appearance and impact of the Holy Spirit:

• David knew the Holy Spirit abided in him (Psalm 51:11; Mark 12:36)
• Mary and Elizabeth were filled with the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:28, 30; Luke 1:41)
• Simeon, via the Holy Spirit, recognized Jesus as the Christ, as God promised (Luke 2:25-35)
• The Holy Spirit abided with Jesus Himself (e.g. Luke 3:22; Luke 4:1)

The Trinity is that much more appreciated in light of various ways shown here that God impacted lives. From the very beginning, the Trinity existed (Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." [Genesis 1:26]). And, forever, the Trinity shall be. (Revelation 22:13)
