===Biblical passages===
The [[Bible]] explains the importance and centrality of the Holy Spirit in the divine plan. Without his presence in this world, there would not be creation, the universe, nor even the humanity ([[Genesis 1:2]], [[Job 26:13]], [[Job 33:4]], [[Psalm 104:30]]). Without the Holy Spirit, neither the [[New Testament]] nor the Bible would not come into existence ([[2 Peter 1:21]], [[John 14:26]], [[1 Corinthians 2:10]]). And without him Christians have no power to proclaim the gospel ([[Acts 1:8]]). Without the Holy Spirit, humans would not have faith, new birth or holiness.
