When Christians are born again, we are born into a new family. Alistair Begg reminds us that because the church of Jesus Christ is made up of all of those who have responded to the Gospel in faith, local churches must align their priorities with God’s Word. Effective ministry in local congregations occurs when the people of God are devoted to Scripture, to fellowship that is deeper than natural affinities, to the sacraments that God has provided for our benefit, and to the priority of prayer.
42And athey devoted themselves to the apostles' bteaching and the cfellowship, to dthe breaking of bread and the prayers. 43And awe4 came upon every soul, and emany wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44And all who believed were together and fhad all things in common. 45And fthey were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46And day by day, gattending the temple htogether and ibreaking bread in their homes, they received their food jwith glad and generous hearts, 47praising God and khaving favor with all the people. And the Lord ladded to their number mday by day those who nwere being saved.
