Today in chapel I heard a really good message about returning to my first love, Jesus Christ. It was a call to refocus on what is really important - my relationship with Jesus Christ. If the relationship is there, everything else will follow. The speaker spoke from Revelation 2, where John addresses the Church in Ephesus. The Church is commended for living upright and holy lives, rejecting evil. They are condemned, however, for forsaking their first love.

This was used to show that striving to be holy should not be our main focus. We need to focus on our relationship with Jesus. Keep doing what you’re doing, but make sure the priorities are correct.

And on another note…

Hebrews 3:12-13

“See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.”
