Definition and Importance: In the biblical context, community refers to a group of individuals who are united by shared beliefs, values, and purposes, often centered around faith in God and adherence to His commandments. The concept of community is integral to the biblical narrative, emphasizing the importance of fellowship, mutual support, and collective worship.

Old Testament Foundations: The idea of community is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, beginning with the nation of Israel. God called Abraham to be the father of a great nation (Genesis 12:2), and this promise was fulfilled as the Israelites became a distinct community chosen by God. The Israelites were bound together by the covenant given at Mount Sinai, where they received the Law, which provided guidelines for living in harmony with God and each other (Exodus 19:5-6).

The communal life of Israel is further illustrated in their festivals and religious practices, which were designed to foster unity and remind them of their collective identity as God's people. The Year of Jubilee, for example, was a time of communal restoration and equality (Leviticus 25:10).

New Testament Teachings: In the New Testament, the concept of community is expanded through the teachings of Jesus and the establishment of the early Church. Jesus emphasized love and unity among His followers, instructing them to love one another as He loved them (John 13:34-35). This commandment became a defining characteristic of the Christian community.

The early Church, as described in the Book of Acts, exemplified a vibrant community life. Believers were devoted to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer (Acts 2:42). They shared their possessions and supported one another, ensuring that no one was in need (Acts 2:44-45). This model of community life demonstrated the transformative power of the Holy Spirit and the practical outworking of Christian love.

Pauline Epistles: The Apostle Paul further elaborates on the nature of Christian community in his epistles. He uses the metaphor of the body to describe the Church, emphasizing the interdependence of its members (1 Corinthians 12:12-27). Each believer has unique gifts and roles, contributing to the overall health and function of the community.

Paul also stresses the importance of unity and peace within the community, urging believers to bear with one another in love and to maintain the unity of the Spirit (Ephesians 4:2-3). He encourages the practice of mutual edification, where members build each other up in faith (1 Thessalonians 5:11).

Community and Worship: Worship is a central aspect of biblical community life. The gathering of believers for worship, prayer, and the sacraments is a vital expression of their shared faith and commitment to God. Hebrews 10:24-25 exhorts believers not to forsake assembling together, highlighting the importance of communal worship for encouragement and spiritual growth.

Challenges and Responsibilities: While the Bible presents an ideal vision of community, it also acknowledges the challenges that can arise. Conflicts, divisions, and sin can threaten the unity of the community. The New Testament provides guidance for addressing these issues, emphasizing forgiveness, reconciliation, and discipline (Matthew 18:15-17; Galatians 6:1).

Believers are called to live out their faith in community, demonstrating love, humility, and service to one another. The biblical model of community serves as a witness to the world, reflecting the love and grace of God through the lives of His people.

COMMUNITY OF GOODS

ko-mu'-ni-ti, (hapanta koina eichon, literally, "They had all things (in) common"): In Acts 2:44, it is said that, in the infant church at Jerusalem, "all that believed were together, and had all things common," and (Acts 4:34) "as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles' feet." The inference from this, that there was an absolute disposal of all the property of all the members of the church, and that its proceeds were contributed to a common fund, has been disputed upon the ground that the example of Barnabas in selling "a field" for this purpose (Acts 4:37) would not have been mentioned, if this had been the universal rule. The thought conveyed is that all believers in that church held their property as a trust from the Lord, for the benefit of the entire brotherhood, and, as there was need, did as Barnabas.

No commandment, of which record has been preserved, prescribed any such course. It came from the spontaneous impulse of the sense of brotherhood in Christ, when the band of disciples was still small, making them in a sense one family, and under the external constraint of extreme want and persecution. So much there was, that they realized, under such conditions they had in common, that they were ready to extend this to all things. It was, in a sense, a continuance of the practice of a common purse in the band of immediate followers of our Lord during his ministry. The penalty inflicted on Ananias and Sapphira was not for any failure to comply fully with this custom, but because this freedom which they possessed (Acts 5:4) they falsely professed to have renounced, thus receiving in the estimation of their brethren a credit that was not their due. This custom did not last long. It was possible only within a limited circle, and under very peculiar circumstances. The New Testament recognizes the right of individual property and makes no effort to remove the differences that exist among believers themselves. The community of goods which it renders possible is spiritual (1 Corinthians 3:21 f), and not one of visible and external things. With respect to the latter, it enjoins upon the Christian, as a steward of God, the possession and administration of property for the progress of the kingdom of God, and the highest interests of men. The spirit of Acts 4:34 is always to pervade the association of believers as a true Christian community. Meyer, on the above passage, has suggested that it is not unlikely that the well-known poverty of the church at Jerusalem, and its long dependence upon the alms of other churches, may be connected with this early communistic practice, which, however justifiable and commendable at the time, bore its inevitable fruits in a subsequent season of great scarcity and lack of employment.
