Life-study msg 10 in the book of Revelation

Rev 2:4 concerning our problem: we left our first love for the Lord. 

God surely loves us, but the problem lies in "Our love for the Lord". 

Our loving the Lord gives us the ground for us to enjoy the Lord, and via enjoying the Lord, we gain life. The life also shines in us. This is the way that we enjoy Him as the tree of life and can be the testimony of Jesus. Leaving the first love indicates that we are in the degradation of the church. Also, as long as we allow God to be replaced, we are also in the degradation. 

Loving the Lord-> enjoying the Lord -> Gaining God as the tree of life -> the testimony of Jesus. 

Warning: works 

Rv 2:3And you have endurance and have borne all things because of My name and have not grown weary.

The first love is the best love. We are not love, He is love. In order to love the Lord, we simply are required to turn to Him who is love. We need to let Him be the first. 

Lord, to be honest, I don't know how to love. As I had never experienced the real love from others, how can I know this? Please don't make fun at me, okay?
