Every activity of the Godhead is always in Trinity. The first time the name of God is mentioned in the Bible, the Hebrew word used is God—the plural. In the Hebrew language there is singular, dual and plural.
The Hebrew word for God in the plural is Elohim. This is the word used in Genesis 1:1. The Hebrew word for God in the dual is Elohaim. It is never used in the Scripture. The Hebrew word for God in the singular is Eloah. The first time this is used is in Deuteronomy 32:15-17 where He is contrasted with idols.
The order in Scripture is always God the Father in purpose, the Son, the One who carries out the purposes of God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, the power by which they are fulfilled. This truth runs all through the Word of God.
In creation it was the purpose of God the Father that creation would be the sphere for the display of all His counsels (Eph. 1:9-10). The Son is the One by whom all is created and upheld (John 1:14; Col. 1:16; Heb. 1:13). The Holy Spirit is the power in creation (Job 26:13; Psa. 104:30).
In redemption God the Father purposed, in love, the blessing of man (John 3:16). “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself” (2 Cor. 5:19). Christ in obedience of love accomplished the work of redemption (Heb. 10:710). He (Christ) “through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God” (Heb. 9:14).
In resurrection God the Father raised Christ from the dead (Acts 3:15). Christ, the Son, raised Himself from the dead (John 10:18). The Holy Spirit raised Christ from the dead (Rom. 8:11; 1 Peter 3:18).
