Read: Acts 2:46-47
Listen: Acts 2

“Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.” Acts 2:46

The early church experiences a deep, satisfying, rich life together. They go “all in” on their relationship with God and each other, opening the door to true, Christian fellowship. They gather daily to hear the Apostles teach and then share life together in homes. The Holy Spirit fills them with joy and gladness, even though they experienced opposition and deep, personal struggles. This satisfying life together is only possible through the power of Jesus’s life, death and resurrection. He’s recreating humanity to experience restored friendship with God and with each other.

This powerful, full life is available to us. Jesus said he came so that we could have life to the full (John 10:10). When we place our faith in Jesus and believe that he died for our sins, we are restored to friendship with God. Our new relationship with God then makes way for new relationships with each other. Relationships within our church, families, marriages and friends when we are following Jesus together can experience a relational intimacy and connection that is only available through him.

TODAY: Have you placed your faith in Jesus? It’s as simple as telling God that you recognize your sin has broken your relationship with him and that you believe Jesus died to restore your life to him. If you have placed your faith in Jesus, thank him for the rich, full life that is available through him.
