Revelation 2: 4,5
from ericabbott on 05/04/2019 07:56 PMVerses 4-5
4 "But I have this complaint against you. You don't love me or each other as you did at first!
5 Look how far you have fallen! Turn back to me and do the works you did at first. If you don't repent, I will come and remove your lampstand from its place among the churches.
--------------------------
Just as a man and woman fall in love, so also new believers rejoice at their newfound forgiveness. But when we lose sight of the seriousness of sin, we begin to lose the thrill of our forgiveness.
(2 Peter 1:9) states; But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins.

In the first steps of your Christian life, you may have had enthusiasm without knowledge.
Do you now have knowledge without enthusiasm?
Both are neccesary if we are to keep love for God intense and untarnished.
Do you love God with the same fervor as when you were a new Christian?
