You are beginning to realize that your Christian life has become stale. Church, while good, does not seem to be hitting the mark. You pray and read your Bible. You try your best to be a good person and obey the commandments. You do all this as a good Christian should, but you feel empty. Where is God? You wonder, "Why doesn't he answer my prayers?" Many Christians feel this way, and many of the ones who don't feel this way should. In Revelation 2:4, Jesus tells the church of Ephesus, "You have left your first love." How about you? Have you left your first love? Would you like to return to Jesus, your first love? Well, this book has something to say about that! It would be great if I could say to you, "Just love Jesus more," and that would solve your problems. I think you know that there is more to this story than that. We have a new covenant with God through the shed blood of our savior, Jesus Christ. Would you like to know what that covenant is about? It is about a life of faith in God. A life of love, love of God first, and a love of others. It is a life lived with, of, and through God's Holy Spirit who is within us. Do you want to know how to live this life? When you read this book, you will find how God defines these terms: faith, love, and spirit. Also, you will discover the pattern of how God has provided his covenants, all pointing to our new covenant in Christ. You are being called to repent and to walk with God, a walk as he has created it to be! God is talking to you! Will you listen?
