And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
(Deuteronomy 6:5) Renewing our first love
When we first come to know Christ, we are filled with a sense of fascination and love for Him and His church. However, over time, we can become complacent and lose that initial passion. The Bible warns us not to abandon our first love and to continue to seek and experience that fervor for Christ. This requires a constant spiritual warfare against sin, the flesh, and the world.

Let us not forget the gift of salvation and forgiveness that we received by grace and let us hold onto our first love for Christ.
