Vs 44 And all the believed were together, and had all things common;, Vs 45 And sold their their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
Believers were so knit together, they "had all things common." Can that be said about you or your church have all things common, everyone gets along. First of all it says all that believed were together, do you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, Have you trusted HIM as your personal Saviour? Has there been a time in your life when you saw yourself as a sinner on your way to Hell. If you cant remember that conviction you need to check up, If you cant remember the Holy Ghost having conviction on you, then check up. There has to be a point in your life, when you believed Jesus is the Son of God that, Jesus is God. He went to Calvary for you and I, have you believed.
Believers were so knit together, they "had all things common." They sold their possessions and gave the money to those in need. They sold their belonging, & their properties or lands that they had, & divided among the bretheren those that had a need.Their giving was testimony to God's love. For their sharing possessions was voluntary, not compulsory. No one was forced, or pressured to give.
Verse 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, & breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, verse 47 Praising God, & having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Daily, the believers met, going to the Temple they were at church everyday, during revival meetings, missions conference, where are you believer , sharing meals, always having fellowships. We baptist like to fellowship alot, not party, fellowship. Do you get along with all the bretheren show Gods Love. Sharing meals from house to house, enjoying fellowship, and praising God. When was the last time you praised HIM? Everyone saw how happy, and joyful they were, which gave them favor with those not in church. We need to be happy about our salvation about being in church, if we are not happy about those things why would the lost want to come to church. This gave them opportunities to witness. We always have opportunities to witness, Question is do we do it?. The result for the believers doing this, the LORD added daily to the church, those that were saved, we have failed miserably. When was the last time we invited someone to church, some one we know, Why don't we want them to get saved, have we stopped praying. Have we ever wept for a soul, poured out our heart to God?
