Revelation 2:2-5 “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
The church at Ephesus was commended for doing some very good things. But then God gave them a warning that He would not allow the church to continue if they didn't repent. What did they need to repent? They had abandoned the love they had at first. God wasn't their sole reason for living. Other things had become more important to them than their devotion to God.
How about you? Is Jesus still your first love?
