Acts 2:42
And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
Those who first came to faith in Jesus Christ devoted themselves.
The word "devoted" comes from:
de = leaning toward, leaning into +
vow = promises, oaths
In other words, to be devoted is to be leaning into your vows. Not just making them, but working towards keeping them -- to do your level best to be about what you said you would be about, making your word sure by living in light of your promises.
