"Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent." Revelations 2:4-5
To return to the first love, you need total abnegation. In other words, sacrifice, sacrifice, and sacrifice. People are not always ready to pay the price, but if they don't follow this rule, even what they have left will be taken away from them.
