As we observe Pentecost, we are reminded of the gift of the Holy Spirit that true Christians receive when they are called to repentance and become baptized.

While we remain imperfect human beings, we now have the Spirit to help guide our steps. This of course entails obedience to God and His commandments. This is the foundation of our faith and the reason that we make an offering to God on His Holy Days such as Pentecost.

On the day of Pentecost following the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the gift of the Holy Spirit was a surprise to the Christians gathered together for worship.
