The preaching of the Cross and heart transformation resulted in life transformation. There appeared to be supernatural lifestyles, as they sang on their way to the lions mouths and being torn asunder.
I am glad though, there were those people mentioned in God's Word, that weren't so Superhuman and often failed or slipped up, followed by repenting, then returning to the journey they were called to. This gives me hope!
Today's believer appears not to be so committed or connected with Christ and power. Though there is hope, there is also much to be shared and accomplished for the cause of Christ. This includes, the souls that are lost, those that are physically and Spiritually hungry. I would suppose they will have to wait until we get over our buzz, laziness and church hurt. They and I must stand on the word of God and power of His Spirit. We in unity, caring not only for our own interests but also the interests of others. If not us who? If not now when? Casual Christians soon become casualties!
There is love. There is mercy. There is also duty. What if we all just didn't feel like it? Didn't feel called? I'm glad the others before me had the love and fortitude, while in their mess, told me about the good news of faith in the Cross and blood of Christ!
Look into Ephesians, Acts, Thessalonians.
