Return to your first love and first works

The church in Ephesus had a zeal for truth that Christ commended. But their zeal got the better of them and they found themselves receiving a severe warning from the Lord. In their zeal to defend the truth, they had divorced themselves from love. Zeal divorced from love is a destructive force. The call of Christ was for them to remember their first love, repent and do the first works. In our quest to defend our christian values, have we become so caught up in the fight that we have left our first love and abandoned our first works? This message is an apt reminder to check if our testimony is still intact.
