Renewing love for God — Revelation 2 letter to Ephesus: remember, return, repeat
Question from Trippy Penguin about renewing love for God when faith feels commonplace
Mike directs to Revelation 2-3, letters to the seven churches. The letter to Ephesus addresses loss of first love. Christ's prescription: (1) Remember the height from which you have fallen — actively recall what it felt like when the truths of Christ were vivid and life-giving. (2) Remember the first works — do the things you first did in love for the Lord, not just busy ministry activity.
