REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Seven - Rekindle That First Love! -Conclusion

 Whether we are old-timers or new associates in the congregation, we must guard against losing our first love for Jehovah. How can this loss come about?  We could  allow attachment to our secular work,  the desire to make a lot of money, or the pursuit of pleasure to become fleshly minded rather than spiritually minded. (Romans 8:5-8;  1 Timothy 4:8; 6:9, 10)  Our love for Jehovah should impel us to correct any such tendencies and to 'keep on seeking first the God's Kingdom and his righteousness,' so as to  'store up treasures in heaven." -  MATTHEW 6:19-21, 31-33.

Let our service to  Jehovah be motivated always by a deep-seated love for him.  Let us have a fervent appreciation for all that Jehovah and Christ have done for us.  John  himself wrote later: "The love is in this respect, not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent forth his Son as a propitiatory sacrifice for our sins." John goes one to tell us: "God is love, and he that remains in union with him in union with God and God remains in union with him."  May we never let fade our love for Jehovah. For the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the living Word of God! This love we can express not only in zealous  service to God but also by obedience to "this  commandment we have from him, that the one who loves God should be loving his brother also." - 1 JOHN 4:10, 16, 21; HEBREWS 4:12; see also 1 PETER 4:8; COLOSSIANS  3:10-14; EPHESIANS 4:15.
