Have You Left Your First Love for God?
from Words From The Word · host Good News Baptist Church of St. Maarten
Have you left your first love for God? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster brings a heartfelt message rooted in 1 John 3:16-18, Revelation 2:1-4, and Acts 2 (KJV), calling believers back to a genuine, active love for God and for one another.You might be asking: Is my love for God real or just words? Can I love God and still ignore the needs of those around me? What did the early church do that we seem to be missing today? How do I know if I have left my first love?Key points from this devotion:- True love is defined as selfless sacrifice that results in generous acts of kindness- The church at Ephesus was commended for its works but rebuked for leaving its first love- Love must be proven in deeds, not just in words or feelings- The early church in Acts 2 lived in one accord, sharing freely and praising God together- God is calling us back to that place where we see what we have as belonging to Him and to othersIf this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, share it with someone who needs it, and subscribe so you never miss a daily word from Pastor Webster.#WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurchStay connected with GNBC:🌐 Website: www.gnbcnetwork.orgCHAPTERS:0:00 Opening Song — Draw Me Nearer0:55 True Love Defined1:11 Love Proved by Sacrifice2:35 Love Must Show Up in Deeds3:07 Ephesus and the Lost First Love5:04 The Early Church's Example6:23 Getting Back to One Accord7:03 Paul's Prayer for the Believers7:39 Closing Blessing
