Have you left your first love for God? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster brings a heartfelt message rooted in 1 John 3:16-18, Revelation 2:1-4, and Acts 2 (KJV), calling believers back to a genuine, active love for God and for one another.

You might be asking: Is my love for God real or just words? Can I love God and still ignore the needs of those around me? What did the early church do that we seem to be missing today? How do I know if I have left my first love?

Key points from this devotion:

- True love is defined as selfless sacrifice that results in generous acts of kindness

- The church at Ephesus was commended for its works but rebuked for leaving its first love

- Love must be proven in deeds, not just in words or feelings

- The early church in Acts 2 lived in one accord, sharing freely and praising God together

- God is calling us back to that place where we see what we have as belonging to Him and to others
