Go Back and Start Again

From the blog post of John Dink: 

“I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name’s sake, and you have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first”   - Rev 2:2-5  

What if we have abandoned the love we had at first because we’ve forgotten the news that “He first loved us?” Is it possible that the works we did at first arise from the belief that Jesus’ works are all we need? What if keeping with repentance is simply going back to the start again and again?

"Then they said to Him, 'What must we do, to be doing the works of God?' .. 
Jesus answered them, 'This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."
