Revelation 2:1-7, Love Maintenance

The church in Ephesus was doing well at holding fast to the truth. They worked hard, they patiently endured, and they practiced church discipline to those who were evil. But one thing they did not do well was that they abandoned the love of God and neighbor that they had at first. They were called out by Christ to repent and do the work of love. Christ is warning his church to pursue both love and doctrine. In the end they are promised the tree of life. God promises that what was once lost will be restored, because Jesus has overcome.
