Acts of the Apostles 2:42 NLT All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer.

After accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, believing He died for our sins, there are some characteristics we must display. We shouldn’t remain the same once we get born-again. Acts 2:42-47 gives us guidance on those characteristics.

First, it states they devoted themselves to the teaching of God’s word. This lets us know we need to hear God’s word consistently. With the technology we have now, we’re able to hear God’s word every day.

Secondly, they fellowshipped with one another. We shouldn’t want to be isolated from other believers. We should be sharing our battles, our victories, and our God-given strategies to overcome.

Next, they partook of the Lord’s Supper. None of this would be possible without Jesus. Partaking of the Lord’s Supper reminds us of the sacrifice He made. 1 Corinthians 11:23-25 instructs us to do this to remember Him. Also, we don’t need to wait until our church has communion to do this. We can take a cracker and some juice anywhere and partake of the Lord’s Supper ourselves.

Then, they devoted themselves to prayer. Prayer keeps us in constant communication with God. We tell him our issues, our needs, and desires. He gives us encouragement, ideas, instructions, and plans. 

Praise God for showing us how to be a believer.
