Living in Faith
Commentary
Living by faith implies both belief and action. Sometimes that’s described as faith versus works, as if it were possible to have one without the other. However, the assumption of the good news is that having one will lead to the other. Indeed, it demands it. In this week’s passage in Acts, the extraordinary faith of the believers leads to the extraordinary action of erasing the seemingly unbridgeable gap between the unimaginably rich and indescribably poor of the Roman world.
