Rev 2:4-5 [§15]: A Call to Repent for Leaving Thy First Love

This podcast discusses, explains and interprets the prophecies of John the apostle found in Revelation 2:4-5. These verses contain Christ’s condemnation of the ancient Ephesian saints who had forsaken their “first love,” Jesus Christ. This means they lost the Christian virtue of charity and no longer possessed the ardent love of the Savior that they once possessed. Christ threatens to remove his church from among them if they do not repent and return to their first love. The Ephesian saints are a foreshadow for members of the latter-day church, who also run the risk of forsaking their love for Jesus Christ in the midst of great worldliness.
