What are the first works mentioned in Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

The first works refer to the foundational acts of faith and repentance in Christ.

In Revelation 2:5, the call to 'do the first works' refers to the essential actions that arise from a genuine faith in Jesus Christ. These include repentance and the acknowledgment of Christ as one's only hope for righteousness. The 'first works' signify the initial fervor and commitment to the gospel that characterized believers at their conversion. As believers recall these foundational experiences, they are encouraged to return to the heart of the gospel and remain steadfast in their faith and practice. Reflecting on these works cultivates a proper worshipful response to God's grace in their daily lives.
