The Life Together
Treasured Vignettes

"They committed themselves to the teaching of the apostles, the life together, the common meal, and the prayers." Acts 2:42 (The Message)

Jesus Christ is the Life, and He brings people together in His life. As we commit ourselves to "the life together," dramatic change begins to occur. The Spirit of the Living God comes to "dwell in us." Sin no longer dominates us. We are filled with love for God and our neighbor. We no longer steal or lie or murder or hate without conscience. We begin to bless and not curse, do good and not evil. Our daily activities are now accentuated with the study of God's Word, prayers, worship and thanksgiving. Our lives begin to fill the fruit of the Spirit and empty of the deeds of the flesh. We find others who are like-minded with us in this "new life." We enjoy and encourage each other as we are truly knit together in the common bond of love and faith. We "weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice." We serve one another with the gifts that come with the Life. We, together, look forward to the day when "our faith shall become sight"--the beginning of eternity together. Think about it.
