Bible Question: "can you explain to me Acts 2:46-49 |
Bible Answer: Shalom Dcmartin, My bible only has to verse 47 in Acts 2...(some times they vary). I'm not sure what you don't understand, but I'll try to explain what I understand of the passage... This was the extreme infancy of the church and it was still mainly made up of Jews, just another sect of Judiasm. They continued daily in the temple with one accord - they still said the prayers 3 times a day in their local worship area (the Temple, for these spoken of), preached there the gospel that the promised Messiah had come, they took their meals with fellow believers in their different homes V. 47 they were continually praising God as He showed them favor and more and more people were added to their fellowship. If you're confused about the statement "those who were being saved" - salvation in a one time thing but a life time of attaining. Little by little, day by day, one's life changes as they follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. Hope this helps Cheri |
