First Love

First love is loving what God loves most... the church.

"First love involves deeds... deeds give evidence of first love."

"First love is the surrender and the giving up to our Lord all that we are in sharing and fulfilling the measure of His sufferings - the filling up of the measure of His sufferings in the church, which is His body." (Colossians 1:24)
