In Acts 2:42-47, Luke describes the community life of these first Christians—the early church. What did these new believers do? What was their life together? In this description, we see four commitments of the early church, and three results of those commitments. Commitment number one: the Apostles’ teaching. Commitment number two: genuine fellowship. Commitment number three: the breaking of bread. Commitment number four: the prayers. Fear of the Lord, favor with outsiders, and faith are the result of the commitment of the early church.
The plain truth of this passage is that people come to know and love and follow Jesus through the regular, everyday ministry of Jesus’ church. As we will see over the coming weeks, that is true locally and globally. The gospel advances here, near, and far because the church is committed to the Word, fellowship, breaking bread, and the prayers.
