The Birth of the Christian ChurchParaugs

The early church was powerful in the Holy Spirit and grew quickly. Almost every aspect of life was changed for those early believers. The purity of their faith was quickly attacked from physical and spiritual forces. God’s protection of the Christian faith was marked by swift judgment and his miraculous grace. God’s people and their fellowship together witnessed the power and guidance of his Holy Spirit. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. (Romans 1:16)
