“Repent And
Do The Things
You Did At First”
“To the angel of the church in
These
are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks
among the seven golden lampstands. I know your deeds,
your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked
people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and
have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.
Yet
I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider
how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do
not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand
from its place. But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Whoever
has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of
life, which is in the paradise of God.
Revelation 2:1-7
When
you are on your best behavior and someone compliments you, do you seek the
compliment for the right reasons or just to puff yourself up?
Jesus
wants you just as you are, and just as when you first were saved. Don’t do
something for His approval, do it because you love Him.
When
was the last time you did something for Jesus?
Love in deed is love indeed!
