Book of Hosea

The Gospel creates an intimate relationship

with Christ that is like marriage.

God calls a rebellious bride. (1:2-10)

Why did God tell Hosea to marry a prostitute?

Human nature is prone to unfaithfulness. .

God redeems his bride from bondage. (3:1-5)

God told Hosea to redeem his bride from the slave market.

.

All God’s people were redeemed at the cross. .

God calls us to return.

Turn away from idols .

Turn to the living God .
