God’s Enduring Love: A Lesson from the Prophet Hosea During This Lenten Season

The Book of Hosea, one of the Minor Prophets, . . .

. . . delivers a profound message about the relationship between God and Israel, depicted as a husband and wife.

Though Israel turned away from God to worship idols, God remained faithful and sought reconciliation. This message is relevant to all believers, especially during Lent, prompting self-reflection on modern-day “idols” such as wealth, status, and personal image. Jesus affirms that God alone should be worshipped, and once He is placed at the center of life, everything else—including relationships—falls into place.

True love for God leads to genuine love for others, making faith the foundation of strong relationships and spiritual fulfillment.
