Come back to your
..First love

What is first love?
- the first person one
loves in a romantic way

What is first love in the Bible?
This love was “first” in the
sense that it is the most
important love that anyone can
experience, that is to say, it is
that primary love for the Lord
Jesus Christ that comes before
or takes precedence over all
other loves in terms of value.

These are the words of him who holds
the seven stars in his right hand and
walks among the seven golden
lampstands. 2 I know your deeds, your
hard work and your perseverance. I
know that you cannot tolerate wicked
people, that you have tested those who
claim to be apostles but are not, and
have found them false.
Revelations 2:1-4
2 “To the angel[a] of the church in Ephesus write

3 You have persevered and
have endured hardships for
my name, and have not
grown weary.4 Yet I hold this
against you: YOU HAVE
FORSAKEN THE LOVE
YOU HAD AT FIRST.

“But I have this complaint
against you. You don’t love
me or each other as you did
at first![b] 5 Look how far you
have fallen!
Revelations 2:4-5 NLT

2 “Isulat mo ini para sa anghel
nga nagabantay sa iglesya sa Efeso:
“Amo ini ang ginasiling sang nagauyat
sang pito ka bituon sa iya tuo nga
kamot kag nagalakat sa tunga sang
pito ka suga nga bulawan:
2 Nahibaluan ko ang inyo mga
ginahimo pati ang inyo mga
pagpangabudlay kag pag-antos.
Nahibaluan ko man nga indi ninyo
maagwanta ang malain nga mga
tawo.
Revelations 2:4-5 HLGN

Gin-usisa ninyo ang mga
naga pakaapostoles, kag
nasapwan ninyo nga mga butigon
gali sila.3 Gin-antos ninyo ang
mga kabudlayan tungod sa inyo
pagtuo sa akon, kag wala gid
kamo nagluya.4 Pero ang akon
nasawayan sa inyo amo ini: ang
inyo paghigugma sa akon subong
indi na pareho sang una.
5 Hunahunaa bala ninyo kon daw
ano ang inyo paglas-ay.
