Ever read Revelation 2:8-11?

Was reading this and became personally aware that you can see your church in one of these churches described, and that at the same time you can see your own life as an individual in one or more of these churches, and what I or we as an individual needs to do to get back in line with the will of God, and that just as God removed the church of Ephesus He can remove us from His presence.

 

Revelation 2: 4, 5

4 But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.

5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you, and will remove your lamp stand out of its place Unless you repent,

 

This saw written to the church in Ephesus and even today Ephesus doesn’t have a church. So they must not have repented and their church was removed.

 

It does seem to fit because if we are not willing to repent and turn to our first love of Christ and fallow after Him, we also will be cut off or removed from His presence.

 

Take the time to read Revelation 2: 8-11, in fact take time to read all of Revelation, it is the only book in the bible that we are told if we read it we will receive a blessing, and not only reading it but to even listen to it being read we will receive a blessing. If you take the time to read it really pay attention to what Christ says about the churches and where you fit in.
