A New Day!<br />
And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the<br />
Lord shall be saved.”<br />
These awesome signs and wonders are still happening, and many more<br />
are still coming. But let’s take a look in the <strong>book</strong> of Acts at the fruit of<br />
the first century Pentecost, which is the most important aspect of<br />
Pentecost that most people overlook:<br />
“And with many other words he (Peter) testified and exhorted<br />
them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” Then<br />
those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day<br />
about three thousand souls were added to them. And they were<br />
continually devoted to the apostles’ doctrine and to fellowship,<br />
in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon<br />
every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the<br />
apostles. Now all who believed were together, and had all<br />
things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and<br />
divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing<br />
daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from<br />
house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity<br />
of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people.<br />
And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being<br />
saved.” (Acts 2:40-47)<br />
So we can see that the greatest miracle of the first Pentecost was not the<br />
many signs and wonders that were happening, but rather a lifestyle of<br />
great love for one another! Look how they practically loved one<br />
another:<br />
“Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart<br />
and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he<br />
possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. And<br />
with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection<br />
of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. Nor<br />
was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were<br />
possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the<br />
proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the<br />
apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.<br />
And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles<br />
