This Family Study, Seeing God through Creation, The Day of Pentecost reviews the meaning of the word “Pentecost,” what Pentecost pictures, and how it fits into God’s plan of salvation. We need the special gift of God’s Holy Spirit, which brings us many benefits. Properly understanding the meaning of Pentecost affects the way we live our lives—including our relationships with God and people.

The Feast of Pentecost was commanded to be observed throughout all generations. Your descendants are to observe this regulation for all time to come, no matter where they live (Leviticus 23:21 Good News Translation).
