The events of 31 A.D. marked the beginning of a new phase in God's plan, representing a significant advancement. Those who were called and received the gift of salvation and the Holy Spirit became firsthand witnesses of God's direct intervention in the lives of the chosen individuals before the abundant harvest that was yet to come. Pentecost serves as a reminder that our reception of God's gift has a purpose, signifying the commencement of our role as the first fruits in our current age. In this present time, we are called to be faithful, living, and loving witnesses to the work that God is accomplishing through the power of His Holy Spirit.
