3,000 Souls Were Added | Pillars of The Church

What did the first church in Acts 2 think was important? SOULS

God doesn’t just want people who attend and sit in a church, looking for an outward touch, with no inward change. HE WANTS SOULS! Those that receive and believe. Those are the ones added to the Church. The ones being saved.

And the purpose of the Church is to link people together with Jesus, and continue to grow in Him based on the 4 Pillars of the Church:

1) Apostle’s Doctrine – didachē – Instruction, teaching
2) Fellowship – kŏinōnia – Close mutual relationships and involvement
3) Breaking of Bread
4) Prayers – prŏsĕuchē – To speak to God

“Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.” Acts 2:41

Acts 2:40-47, John 3:3-6, Ephesians 4:11-16, 2 Corinthians 5:17
