What does it mean for the believers to be together and have all things in common?

Acts 2:44 (ESV)

44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common.

This does not mean that all the believers were together in the same place. The believers were united in their devotion to God and eagerness to serve him.1 This devotion showed itself as they treated one another as family (see Luke 18:28–30),2 sharing their belongings with fellow Christians in need.
