[Salvation]

Acts has accounts also of how they helped each other in their community, correct? Sharing food, etc.

Yeah. So?

Is that how they got saved?

Is that how they stayed saved?

Or do you suppose that those are the works that God prepared for them beforehand to walk in and they did it out of obedience, not to stay saved but because they were saved?

I agree. Who isn’t sharing? The majority of Christians in America are Protestant/Evangelical. America is the most giving country in the world.

So was the sharing and giving in Acts a function of fearing God’s Wrath or a function of emulating the Love Christ had for us?
