In the story of Hosea's marriage we see one of the greatest pictures of God's love story toward not only Israel, but all mankind. He was called to do something no man should be, to love a woman that he knew would ultimately break his heart. In this text God shows us three things: I. We see man's condition. (Vs. 1-2), II. We see God's character. (Vs. 2), III. We see our command. (Vs. 2-3).
