Why is repentance necessary for rekindling love for Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Repentance is necessary to acknowledge neglect and realign oneself with Christ's desires.

Repentance serves as a critical step for believers who find themselves distanced from their first love for Christ. In Revelation 2:5, the call to 'repent and do the first works' shows that acknowledgment of spiritual indifference is essential to restoring a passionate love for the Savior. Repentance invites believers to reflect on their spiritual state and commit to returning to the fervent practices that marked their initial love. It involves recognizing not only the personal neglect of Christ but also the influence of worldly distractions and self-reliance. As a response to Christ's love, genuine repentance can lead to rejuvenated devotion, aligning one's heart back to the source of all love.
