God told the prophet Hosea to marry a prostitute, an unfaithful adulteress. Now, why would He do this? Because that’s how God felt about His people, whom He dearly loved. For they had turned away from Him to other lovers, to idols. The Church in the New Testament is likened to the Bride of Christ. And like a faithful husband, Jesus longs for your affection and to be your first love. When you look at your own life, is Jesus number 1 in your heart?
