The Book of Acts, after narrating the Christian Pentecost and the descent of the divine wisdom among men, dealt with a fundamental topic in the life of the church, the spiritual communion.
And the communion is something very precise, the communion is the ethical or correct order of society, in the communion there is no "this is yours or this is mine" but rather an "everything belongs to everyone."
It could be thinking that the fraternal communion of goods is a utopia because selfishness is an impediment, but the closer a society to this correct order of things, the closer that society will come to the fruits of the spirit as a social good, that is, to the goods of peace, the common good, the prosperity, and the equality. Communion is a necessity for the full development of man because the opposite is oppression, lies, and deception. Communion is ultimately the union of minds and hearts in the spirit of God: "But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit" 1 Corinthians 6:17.
This is how the Book of Acts recounts how the fraternal communion grew and developed among believers in the Lord Jesus, blessed by the holy spirit:
"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. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God's grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need" Acts 4:32-35.
