Acts 2:42-47 gives us a description of how the Holy Spirit moved amongst the first followers of Jesus in ways of devotion and love to form the brand new baby Church. It is arguable that this passage is one of the very few that actually give us a picture of the practical life of the Church. This picture describes various aspects of devotion that portray how God was shaping their lives in ways that transcend the specifics of culture and are transferrable into any time and cultural context.
Acts 2:42-47
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
