Synopsis

In a world filled with distraction, fear, division, religious activity, and competing loves, the Church is being called back to what matters most: the love of God. Jesus declared that the greatest commandment is to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and mind. Yet it is possible to become so occupied with the things of God that we slowly lose our love for God Himself. We can serve, worship, preach, study, fight battles, and pursue spiritual things while our hearts quietly drift from our First Love. This book is a call to return. Through Scripture, this teaching explores the depth of God's love-from His love revealed throughout Scripture and supremely demonstrated at the cross, to the believer's call to forgiveness, holiness, obedience, worship, intimacy, endurance, truth, and love for others. It confronts the danger of loveless religion and reminds us that Christian faith is not ultimately about activity, achievement, or appearance, but about knowing and loving the God who loved us first. Love is not weakness. Love is not compromise. Love is not sentimental religion. Biblical love is powerful enough to confront sin, forgive enemies, endure suffering, pursue the lost, speak truth, walk in holiness, and remain faithful when the cost is high. God must not merely have a place in our lives. He must have first place. He must be our First Love.
