Hosea 1:2-9
Hosea 3:1-3
This book is about adultery, about promiscuity, about abandonment
Hosea means Salvation
Gomer means Completion
Salvation is important but it is not the pinnacle of Christianity. Restoration is the pinnacle of Christianity.
God pursues me first, not me Him. That's how much He Loves me
Where there is salvation there is completion. Where there is God's love and His hand upon our lives, there is completion.
Children born unto Hosea but not his flesh & blood :
Jezreel = bloody trash
Lo-Ruhamah = no favour
Lo-Ammi = not my people
God's pursue of us is relentless. Although we go deeper & deeper into sin, God's love dive deeper and deeper to find us. Although no one wants us, we are used, old, trash, God will not stop loving us. Nothing is grander than the act of God. Hosea has to give up everything to save his wife who continued to fall into harlotry even after marriage. In those days, 30 shekels is equivalent to about $60,000 in our times! After saving his wife, Hosea said to her to stay with him.
Jesus pursues us to redeem us and to restore us! God will not remember our sins of the past because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ
