Summary
In Revelation 2:1-7, Jesus gives a great compliment and a strong caution to the Church. Ephesus has been faithful to call out false doctrine and not tolerate false deeds, but they had also grown cold in their "first love." Every Christian will go through seasons in life where they have to fight for a first love mentality. In this episode, Costi Hinn explains what that looks like, and how to live a life focused on both truth and love.

| 1:01.1 | 1 to 7 where the phrase first love comes from and where we get the idea of losing your |
| 1:06.4 | first love. |
