The early Christians loved the Lord and their fellow believers and not their earthly belongings

No early Christian looked at his / her earthly possessions and said selfishly or
possessively, “These are mine!”
All of them thought, “Lord, You have given all the things that we own to us, and they are
therefore rightfully Thine!”
They looked around at the poor believers in their church, in need of the basic necessities
of life, and thought, “We must do something for them, as financially things in their lives
are not fine.”
ALL the wealthy believers then sold their lands, (second) homes, and valuable objects in
their homes, and to give to the apostles, ALL the money that they got by selling, to give
to needy believers, stood in church in a line.

Bible verses: Acts 2:42-47; 4:32-37
