31-Day Devotional from Bestselling Author and Bible Teacher
John MacArthur
In the busyness and trials of life, it's easy to drift away from
the Savior. We may continue to go to church and even read the
Scriptures and pray, but we can still lose our first love. Christ
commended the church in Ephesus for their works and for their
intolerance of false doctrine yet admonished them to remember and
return to their first love--him. In the same way, our outward
religiosity can mask an inner lack of love for our Savior.
In this 31-day devotional, John MacArthur takes readers down a
biblically prescribed path as they rediscover who Christ is, what
he has done, and how they must respond. Each entry will move
readers from understanding to application to reflection and prayer,
with a goal of rekindling their first love for Christ. Makes a
thoughtful gift for any believer.

“Although man’s will is not free in the sense that many people suppose, it is still part of his being” (source)
“‘There is one God, and one mediator [only] between God and men, the man Christ Jesus’” (source)
“And when you speak but little of Christ, it is a sign that you love Him but little.2” (source)
“How can you ignore your relationship with the One who did all that for you? Yet many of you do whenever you give someone or something a higher priority in your life. Don’t let that happen—give Him first place in your life and learn to view everything from His perspective.” (source)
“Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped.” (source)
