JESUS TO THE CHURCH IN EPHESUS

 REVEALING JESUS

WHERE IS YOUR FIRST LOVE?

“To the angel of the church of Ephesus write,

‘These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:" 

JESUS WHO HOLDS THE SEVEN STARS, COMMENDS THE ASSEMBLY IN EPHESUS.

“I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary." 

Revelation 2:1-3 NKJV

JESUS GIVES HIS CORRECTION

"Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.  But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate."  Revelation 2:4-6 NKJV

THE CHURCH WAS INFLUENCE BY THE NICOLAITANS; PARTICIPATING IN SEXUAL IMMORALITY, GNOSTIC BELIEFS, AND EATING FOOD OFFERED TO IDOLS.

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.”   Revelation 2:7  NKJV New King James Version
OVERCOMERS WILL EAT FROM THE TREE OF LIFE, IN THE MIDST OF GOD'S PARADISE.
