Revelation of God the Father

Acts 4:32–37 (ESV)

32 Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.

What does Acts 4:32-37 reveal about who God the Father is? God is sovereign and he answers prayers. The church prayed for his help (Acts 4:24–30) and by his Spirit he empowered the apostles to keep preaching (Acts 4:33).

God is Provider. By means of individual Christians God makes sure that there is not a single needy person among his people. This provision is consistent with God’s promise in Deuteronomy 15:4 as well as the fourth petition of the Lord’s Prayer (Luke 11:3).
