Solidarity Among Believers
Luc décrivant la première Église chrétienne de Jérusalem, montre une communauté unie et solidaire. Les croyants partageaient leurs biens librement, motivés par l'amour fraternel et transformés par l'Évangile. La gestion des ressources par les apôtres témoigne de la confiance collective et contribue au développement de l'Église.

Acts 4.32-35 (King James Version) :And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
