The early church: The believers had a common faith in Jesus as they met on Solomon's Porch. Acts 5:12

The Book of Acts tells how the early church began. And the first thing that stands out in the texts is the life in common granted as a spiritual gift by the Holy Spirit.
A life in common that was infallibly linked not only to the gift of faith, that is, to the certainty in the life and resurrection of Lord Jesus, but also to that righteousness ("Do to others what you would have them do to you" Matthew 7:12) that makes men brothers among themselves. Because sin, the opposite of the righteous life, divides and causes man to live with his back turned to his neighbor; what causes the most damage in a sinful life is not the lie, something that is already serious, but rather the concealment strategies.
This life in common or communion between the believers in Jesus had been a promise of the Lord before anything else ("Everyone will be salted with fire" Mark 9:49); when the disciples did not understand the words of Jesus because they did not have a mind prepared to comprehend the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, the dominion or empire of God's perfections ("Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect" Matthew 5:48).
And it was for these beautiful goods from above that the first disciples and Christians had to fight in a world given over to ignorance and slavery to sin. And about the gift of communion, the Book of Acts relates: "Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own" Acts 4:32.
A communion that was based on that true faith, testimonied by miracles: "The people saw the apostles perform many miracles and do amazing things. The believers had a common faith in Jesus as they met on Solomon's Porch" Acts 5:12.
