What are believers doing today that would be an example of them leaving their first love, the Bridegroom, Whom is the Son of God, the only way to the Father?

Revelation 2:[SUP]3 [/SUP]And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. [SUP]4 [/SUP]Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. [SUP]5 [/SUP]Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

It would be The Word of God. The Bible... They left it. In favor of traditions of men.

Oh which Christ response was

5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Christ takes it serious .

Forgetting that we are to trust Father thorugh his Son Christ Jesus as Christ did without fail, I am crucified never the less I live by the Faith (belief) in christ Jesus's first being forgiven complete before I was ever born, second asking Father for the new Life that Christ came to give and give it to me abundantly even though I will have adversity here on earth, but I am not to fear for Christ already overcame the world and therefore by the new life that I have been given I know that I am safe and secure in him forever. For it is by the life that one is saved not the death, yet the death was needed first in order to bring new life, therefore I went back to the cross and died with Christ on the cross and have now been risen by God the Father of Christ back to life as he already did Christ his Son whom is the way, the truth and the life which is what is needed for all believers to come to a new life and it is all wrapped up in Christ to come to new life in the Father after you duie to self with Christ and then go about life here representing the Love, Joy, peace and righteousness in the Holy Ghost being an ambassador yelling move to heaven where the kingdom of God is at, his kingdom is not of this earth
THE ABOVE IS THE FIRST LOVE YET IN FEWER WORDS WE LOVE GOD BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US MY FIRST LOVE IS A RESPONSE TO THE LOVE OF GOD, GOD THE CREATOR AND ME RESTORED TO BEING THE CREATION AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINING WITH ADAM AND EVE PRIOR TO THE EATING OF THAT EVIL TREE THAT MASQUERADED AS HAVING GOOD WHEN THERE IS NO GOOD WHAT SO EVER IN THAT TREE

The first works were a result of trust in The Son, Father and Holy Ghost. Wew as people canb't do it only God through us can

Does not Repent mean Change one mind from what to what? The time of our first love yes? but waht was our first love was it not belief, trust in Father, Son ad Holy Ghost

There are a lot of do-gooder works of self out there, could this be what he might be saying like as in hebrews 3 and 4 king James version they never entered my rest because of unbelief. Did not even Jesus say those that are heavy laden and burdened to take on his yoke it is easy and his burden it is light, HMMMM!!!! it is by belief and then seeking out what this belief entails yeah

trying to go back to the Old Covenant and following the letter of the Law of sin and death instead of living in the NEW covenant and following the Holy Spirit.

[h=3]Galatians 3[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)

3 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth,[SUP][a][/SUP] before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you[SUP][b][/SUP] as crucified? [SUP]2 [/SUP]This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? [SUP]3 [/SUP]Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? [SUP]4 [/SUP]Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?
