About This Quote

In Acts, every believer was living in a direct relationship with Him (Christ) and each one functioned normally as a member of His body in oneness with all believers. It was not until Pentecost that the church became indwelt by the Holy Spirit and began to speak as members of Christ’s body. The early church lived as a relational community where each believer operated as a functioning member of Christ’s body. Each believer functioned as a living witness to Christ and lived out the lives that they were called to live.
