2 | Explain " do your first works over" ? | Rev 2:5 | Morant61 | 219566 | ||
Greetings Bmlg! In Rev. 2:1-7, the word 'works' (Strongs 2041) is used 3 times. In this passage, John lists the 'works' of the Church at Ephesus. They: 1) Were hard workers - v. 2. 2) Had persevered - v.2. 3) Could not tolerate wicked men - v. 2. 4) Tested false apostles - v. 2. 5) Persevered and endured hardships - v. 3. Yet, in spite of their past accomplishments, they had left their first love. So, 'doing their first works again' means to go back and do as they had at the beginning and repent of where they are at now. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
