Ephesians Pt 2: First Love Forgetfulness

Revelation 2:1-7

Lessons from those who lost sight of what is most important:

1- You can be right, and still be wrong. Your faithful toil, fierce persistence, and hunger to be doctrinally sound can miss the mark if it has not been doused in a deep love for God and your neighbor. Your desire to be right cannot replace your desire to be obedient. Your desire to be right cannot replace your hunger for proximity to God. Your desire to be right cannot replace the first love. There is a difference between being right and righteous.

2- Self inventory, assessment, and alteration is paramount to salvation and sanctification. The deeds you did at first should be the habits that are sustaining your soul, not a phase when you were single and did not have responsibilities. There is no seniority or hierarchy in faith.. Only those who will submit, surrender, and rhythmically place all of their personhood in the hands and at the feet of Jesus.

3- Repenting and returning is accompanied with a promise from God; That you would eat from the tree of life within the paradise of Jesus. First love living results in eating the fruit of life in the spirit. Oftentimes we are ashamed to admit we lost that first love feeling, and are not happy with the fruit our lives are producing. Repent, return, and relearn how to live in Him again. There is life for you, and paradise for you, if you're willing to pay the cost.
