“These examples tell us that the first Christians took Jesus’s ethics and message extremely seriously. The early Christians shaped their lives-communally and individually--according to the ethical teachings of Jesus, even to the point of completely altering their economic relationships. The ethical teachings of Jesus also changed how the early Christians related to wider society, including how they related to the state.
Being a Christian in the first few centuries of Christianity cost something, economically, and socially, and for some, it even cost their lives. The commandments of Jesus, no matter how seemingly radical, were not distant ideals for the first Christians. they were commandments to be obeyed, and commandments that they built their lives and communities on.”
