In these and other passages, it’s important to understand that a distinction is made in the Bible between status and role of the three Persons of the Trinity. They are all equal in status, while they have different roles as the one God. For example, in creation, salvation, and sanctification, the Father is the Source or Originator, Jesus is the Agent, and the Holy Spirit is the “Atmosphere” in whom those actions are accomplished. Different roles do not mean different status, because they are all one.
