Acts 2:43

Acts 2:43 says, And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.  The fear of God, or respect for His power I believe, came on these believers and they performed many signs and wonders.  We have that same ability today if we live by faith.  Verse forty-four adds, And all that believed were together, and had all things common;  We may believe together, but too often we don’t want to share with others what God has blessed us with, I believe.  Verse forty-five continues, And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. Again, we too often say this is not what God expects of Christians today, but God has not changed.  They were not forced to do this, and neither should we be, but they did so willingly, and so should we.  Verse forty-six states, And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,  I also believe that too often we see the gathering of ourselves together to mean going to church, but this says that the early Christians gathered daily to uplift and support one another.  Verse forty-seven adds, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.  We need to simply be praising God and finding favor with men as we live out our Christian life and share the gospel, and God will add to the church those who should be saved or accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord.
