Hosea: The Rewarding Love of God

Hosea 4:1-2, 4, 6, 9-11, 14; 5:4, 15; 6:1-6 (ESV)   4 Hear the word of the Lord, O children of Israel,     for the Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land. There is no faithfulness or steadfast love,     and no knowledge of God in the land; 2 there is swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery;     they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. 4 Yet let no one contend,     and let none accuse,     for with you is my contention, O priest. 6 My people…

The Evergreen Love of God

Hosea 14:1-9 Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God,     for you have stumbled because of your iniquity. 2 Take with you words     and return to the Lord; say to him,     “Take away all iniquity; accept what is good,     and we will pay with bulls     the vows of our lips. 3 Assyria shall not save us;     we will not ride on horses; and we will say no more, ‘Our God,’     to the work of our hands. In you the orphan finds mercy.” 4 I will heal…

The Redeeming Love of God

Hosea 3:1-5 3 And the Lord said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins.” 2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley. 3 And I said to her, “You must dwell as mine for many days. You shall not play the whore, or belong to another man; so will…

The Tender Love of God

Hosea 2:14-23 (ESV) 14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her,     and bring her into the wilderness,     and speak tenderly to her. 15 And there I will give her her vineyards     and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. And there she shall answer as in the days of her youth,     as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt. 16 “And in that day, declares the Lord, you will call me ‘My Husband,’ and no longer will you call…
Hosea 2:1-13 Say to your brothers, “You are my people,” and to your sisters, “You have received mercy.” 2 “Plead with your mother, plead—     for she is not my wife,     and I am not her husband— that she put away her whoring from her face,     and her adultery from between her breasts; 3 lest I strip her naked     and make her as in the day she was born, and make her like a wilderness,     and make her like a parched land,     and…

A Holy Love for a Whoring Land

Hosea 1:2-11 2 When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea, “Go, take to yourself a wife of whoredom and have children of whoredom, for the land commits great whoredom by forsaking the Lord.” 3 So he went and took Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. 4 And the Lord said to him, “Call his name Jezreel, for in just a little while I will punish the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and I will put an…

Let Us Press On to Know the Lord

Hosea 1:1-11 The word of the Lord that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel. When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea, “Go, take to yourself a wife of whoredom and have children of whoredom, for the land commits great whoredom by forsaking the Lord.” So he went and took Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived…
