How can Christians avoid losing their first love for Christ?
Answered in 1 source
Christians can avoid losing their first love by regularly reflecting, repenting, and actively engaging in worship and fellowship.
To avoid losing our first love for Christ, believers should consistently practice four essential actions: Remember, Repent, Do the first works, and Hear. First, we need to remember the depth of our need for Christ and the joy we experienced when He first saved us. Second, repentance is key—it is not just a one-time act but a continual turning away from distractions and towards Christ. Third, we should engage in the 'first works'—the acts of faith and worship we performed when our love for Christ was fervent. Lastly, we must immerse ourselves in the preaching of the Gospel, seeking to hear and apply God's Word actively. This holistic approach ensures that our hearts remain soft and receptive to Christ's love and grace, preserving our fervor and passion for Him.
