这段经文主要讲述了圣灵降临信徒，充满信徒，并带领他们传福音，以及早期教会在传福音过程中遇到的挑战和考验。圣灵的同在是信徒们勇敢传福音、克服困难、保持合一的重要力量。在传福音的过程中，他们经历了被捕入狱、受审、甚至面临死亡的威胁，但他们始终没有放弃传讲耶稣基督的福音。同时，这段经文也揭示了早期教会内部的一些问题，例如亚拿尼亚和撒非拉的谎言，以及希利尼派犹太人的抱怨。这些问题凸显了教会在成长过程中需要面对的挑战，以及保持合一的重要性。最后，司提反的殉道预示着教会将面临更大的迫害，但也预示着福音的传播将更加广泛和深入。 这段经文强调了信徒在面对迫害和挑战时，应该保持对上帝的信心和顺服，并以爱和怜悯对待彼此。亚拿尼亚和撒非拉的例子警示我们，不要对上帝说谎，要以诚实和正直的心来侍奉上帝。希利尼派犹太人的抱怨提醒我们，教会需要关注每个成员的需求，并努力维护教会的合一。司提反的殉道则激励我们，要为信仰勇敢站立，并为福音的传播贡献自己的力量。
