Our First Love is to Love First

Keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
-- Jude 21 (NIV 1984 Edition)

Hear Oswald Chambers commentary based on Jude 21:

"Keep yourselves in the love of God," says Jude, that is, keep your soul open not only to the fact that God loves you, but that He is "in" you, "in you" sufficiently to manifest His perfect love in every condition (circumstance) in which you find yourself, as you rely on Him.

Revelation 2:4-5 comes to mind:

(4) However, I have this against you: The love you had at first is gone. (5) Remember how far you have fallen. Return to me and change the way you think and act, and do what you did at first. I will come to you and take your lamp stand from its place if you don’t change.
-- Words of The Glorified Jesus to the Church at Ephesus (and to all who have forsaken their first love.)

Our First Love is to Love First... and For Forever.
