Boldness sets the course for the persecution that will inevitably follow. We can expect this to happen both within our believing community and without. The early church was bold in showing their selflessness with one another, but persecution arose from within due to the sneakiness, ulterior motives, and lying of Ananias and Sapphira. The Spirit was quick and deadly with a response. This shows the importance of purity in heart and action, especially when we are vulnerable enough to give our all to a church. What sin needs to be uprooted from within our community? Is our willingness to be vulnerable and give our all worth it?
