chapter 2 the church of Ephesus.

Turn to Rvelation 1: 12- 2:-7 then I turned to see whose voice it was that had spoken to me. When i turned i saw seven golden lamp stands, and among the lamp stands was one like the son of man, dressed in a robe and with a golden sash wrapped around his chest. The hair of his head was white as wool- white as snow – and his eyes like a fiery flame. His feet were like fine bronze as it is fired in a furnace, and his voice like the sound of cascading waters. He had seven stars in his right hand; a sharp double eged sword came ou of his mouth, and his face was shining like the sun at full strength. When i saw him, i fell to his knees like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me and said, don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last, and the living one. I was dead, but look i am alive forever and ever, and i hold the keys of the death and hades. Therefore write what you have seen, what is, and what will take place after this. The mystery of the seven stars you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lamp stands is this: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamp stands are the seven churches. Write to the angel of the church in Ephesus: thus says the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and who walks among the seven golden lamp stands: i now your works, your labor, and your endurance, and that you cannot tolerate evil people. You have tested those who call them selves apostles and are not and you found them to be liars. I know that you have preserved and endured hardships for the the sake of my name, and you not grown weary. But i have this against you: you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember the an how far you have fallen; repent and do the works you did at first. Otherwise, i will come to you and remove your lamp stand from its place, unless you repent. Yet you do have this: you hate the practice of the nicolations, which i also hate. Let anyone who has ears to listen to what the spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, i will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. For this scripture i have three truths to ask yourself. First do you love God as you once did do you remember the day that you were baptized or saved think how much did you love then. What happens is when we first are saved or baptized we loved God a lot but we’re in a day and age where couples are struggling in relationships and getting divorced is that your relationship with God. Or are you loosing love what happens is at the beginning of a relationship with God we love him so much but we loose love for God. Are you loosing love for God like a couple and one of says I used to love but not as much now most of you probably know that leads to a divorce. We can not loose love for God or on judgement day you will stand before God and he says you abandoned your love for me and you will spend eternity in hell. Second are you getting a divorce with God the more you love for God the harder your heart becomes and then it’s just a matter of time until you decide you know what i don’t love God anymore than you stand before God and he says you abandoned me. Third and this is where we’re end do you believe in the power of God you may love God but do you believe in the power of God. If you don’t love God you better go back and start loving because if you don’t love him God will show you his wrath. Don’t think o i may not love God that much but I’ve done some pretty good things I’ve been pretty good reconsider your thoughts no matter how many people you helped or how many good dead’s you’ve done God will come before you with is wrath. If your a Christian and you’ve lost love for find help feel free to comment me about your love for God and I’ll try to help you. Brothers and sisters we’re living in the last days get your love for God straight or you will spend eternity in hell.
