Everything in common
This is the second time we see the idea of having ‘everything in common’
Acts 2:44-
Is this communism?
People still owned things like their homes:
(and lots of other examples)
And, as we’re going to see later with Ananias and Sapphira
Peter indicates selling the property was voluntary.
Motivation
What motivated Barnabas to sell the land?
‘as any had need’
Cause
What caused Barnabas to sell his land?
The grace that they experienced, an answer to prayer:
:32
They were witnessing the work of the Holy Spirit through them, and seeing the Grace of God in each others lives, in the lost, and in their own lives, and witnessing that Grace was changing them.
What is
What is the difference between Mercy and Grace?
Mercy - when you don’t get the punishment you deserve; Grace - when you get the reward you don’t deserve.
The two often occur together, instead of being punished for our sins we are rewarded with the presence of God.
When have you experienced grace?
If this isn’t communism what is it?
Answer = Family
The Holy Spirit was binding believers into a family.
