Acts 4:32, 33
And the multitude of those that believed were of one heart and of one soul; neither said any of them that any of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things in common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the LORD JESUS, and great grace was upon them all.
The Power of the Resurrection - the core conviction.
The multitude of believers were of one heart and soul and, we could add, one mind. This is a direct reference to the great commandment: "Love the LORD your GOD with all your Heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind". These believers were living this commandment by being in "One accord".
The central point of their teaching and preaching was the Resurrection of JESUS, which brought great grace upon them. Our teaching and preaching should be centered in the resurrection of JESUS, for without the resurrection, our faith is vain. It is through the resurrection of JESUS that we have eternal life with Him in glory. By His Blood, He reconciled us to GOD; by His Resurrection He defeated death and opened the way to eternal life.
Our life, as believers in JESUS, follows the path He established by His Life. This means that we will be with him in Glory. He said this many times: "Where I am, there you shall be also."
JESUS is the way; the truth and the life, follow Him and be saved
