Acts 4:32-35 (New Living Translation)
The Believers Share Their Possessions 32 All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had. 33 The apostles testified powerfully to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s great blessing was upon them all. 34 There were no needy people among them, because those who owned land or houses would sell them 35 and bring the money to the apostles to give to those in need.
Wouldn't it be amazing if our society was similar to this one? There were no needy people because the people with land and homes sold them, so that the disciples can share the wealth to the under privlieged. If we all become half as neighborly as the people described in the passage above, I believe we would become much closer and life would become much more simple because we wouldn't have the struggle of the "survival of the fittest."
