Love; Reflecting God’s Love: Towards Community Members

    Acts 2:37-47 (ESV)

             37 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the

        apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” 40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” 41 So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls. 42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were

being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in

common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to

all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their

homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor

with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
