About This Message
Looking at Christ's letter to Ephesus in Revelation 2:1-7, Pastor Addison shows a busy, doctrinally sound church that Jesus still rebukes for leaving its first love. He contrasts serving God out of duty, fear, or reputation with genuinely loving him, and points to Ephesians 3 to show that love for Christ grows only as the Holy Spirit reveals how much Christ first loved us.
Key Takeaways
- Ephesus worked hard and had right doctrine, yet had left its first love.
- Serving from duty or fear differs from serving out of love for Christ.
- We love him only because he first loved us.
