The book of the acts of the apostles tells us of a moment in the early Church where the action of the spirit of wisdom, the holy spirit began to act among men, the promise of our Lord Jesus about the educational spirit in the Church began to manifest itself with signs, miracles, and prodigies.
The communion, the ethical and spiritual social order among men began to bear fruit, the common good, among believers, through that love that is placed at the service of others, the love projected towards the whole creation of God: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs" 1 Corinthians 13:4-5.
This is how the Book of Acts describes this spiritual state of well-being and union, related with the Charity, among the first believers of the christian faith: "All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had" Acts 4:32.
The book of the acts of the apostles describes a Christian community built on bridges and not on walls, a community built on what is the most important, the truth, the wisdom, and the good, and not on fear and greed.
And then the Book of Acts explains something else to us: "With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus" Acts 4:33.
The apostles with that strength received by the gifts of science, wisdom, and discernment began to preach the good news with conviction, saving in this way, through a faith built on righteousness, many pagans from perdition.
And it was thus, that through the power of communion and preaching the Church was able to make Jesus known to the world.
