Immediately following Salvation, the Spirit Of God enters our life and confirms that a new relationship has been established with God.

    Rom. 8:16 "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are  the children of God".

God's Spirit within us produces love for and obedience to God and His Word. 

As long as we are dependent upon God for our strength and are obedience to His Word, we experience the Grace of a new Christian's "first love".

It is very easy, however, to grieve the Spirit of God and to leave our "first love".

I. Can we leave our "First Love"?
Rev. 2:"2-5 "I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

"And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

"Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

"Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent".
