Solidarity Among Believers
In describing the first Christian Church in Jerusalem, Luke portrays a united and supportive community. Believers shared their possessions freely, motivated by brotherly love and transformed by the Gospel. The apostles' management of resources reflects the community's trust and contributes to the Church's growth.
Philippians 2.1-4 (King James Version) :If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
