 First Followers of Christ.

The first Christians were ordinary people, ordinary, simple and above all simple, formed in family groups as now, worked to earn their daily bread and met among them to share their religious interests, and especially to pray, especially in the considered the day of the Lord, they were a society very similar to ours today. 

Acts 2: 42-47 42 And they persevered in the doctrine of the apostles, in communion with one another, in the breaking of bread and in prayers. The life of the first Christians  43 And fear came upon every person; and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.  44 All those who believed were together, and had all things in common;  45 And they sold their property and their goods, and distributed it to all according to the need of each one. 46 And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread in the houses, they ate together with gladness and simplicity of heart,  47 praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church every day those who were to be saved. 

There were also carpenters, soldiers, masons, blacksmith seamstresses, and other crafts similar to ours. Because of their geographical condition, time and space, their homes were a little different, but within them, the life of Christians was the same as everyone else's.  


They had interests in common, and although they did not attend the pagan celebrations of those times, it is known that if they went to parties, but they were meetings organized by them and for them. The wedding at Cana, referred to in the book of John of the Bible, shows us that they also celebrated. The society where they lived had certain attractions or diversions that they did not share since their characteristic indecent behavior went against their Christian principles and values.  


Perhaps because of this voluntary isolation of Christians, they began to have problems, because by not participating in pagan acts that attempt against the will of God, Christians were seen as boring or spoilers, and that is where the true meaning of Christianity begins. that the world and its derivatives, such as parties, idolatries, sorceries and even the economy represent evil characteristics that only seek to divert the path that leads to God and bury the act of love and sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. 

Throughout history, Christians are recognized by their way of being, behavior, how to behave, and to express themselves, this clean and integrated behavior indicates how the first Christians lived in antiquity, collaborators, kind people and charitable with their neighbors always willing to share their property with the most dispossessed, many of their defenders, trusted fully in them, for their proven honesty.  

It is said that the first Christians, especially those who walked with Jesus, had a deeply rooted faith, a characteristic that taught them to live These people followed Jesus wherever he was always feeding on his word, and trying to be like him. The first Christians put into practice everything Jesus taught them:

Humility

Charity

Equity

Honesty and above all these things, LOVE.

Each of the things that Jesus preached while he was among them, was food for their souls, advice and indications to lead a better life, and to make the world a better world. Remember, that life at that time was terrible for the dispossessed, and even more terrible for Christians, the rate of violence and evil was such, that God the Father of Jesus, had no reason to keep this world alive, it was thanks to the immense sacrifice of love that Jesus did for us, paying with his blood, death and crucifixion could give us the salvation and the hope of attaining eternal life to all those who believe in his presence and accept him as our savior.

Beautiful subject in the early church existed an incredible faith, so much so that they were victims of atrocious things but never denied Jesus Christ, at the present time in spite of everything the world's events a powerful and renewed church was levitated, I believe it.
