"Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia." (2TI 4:8, 10)
Demas was a world traveler; looks like he was trying to see all the sights of the world and was neglecting his own soul.
"If any man Love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema." (1 Cor. 16:22)
What we truly love can be examined and proved by what consumes our time - what we give ourselves to. It is high time to examine yourself - you who say you love the Lord and are Christians.
Have ye lost your first love? Have ye ever had Christ Jesus in the abiding truth and reality of Him to love?
"Do not be decieved; God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap."
