the Twelve: Hosea by ric Gustafson
The Book of Hosea talks about the consequences of sin. Israel was immersed in idolatry. Israel loved other gods. It loved shame more than honor. Hosea 11:7 says that my people are bent on backsliding from me. Some people claim to know Jesus but don't commit to him. Some are lured by temptation into sin. This causes unbelievers to mock the Gospel. The greatest evil is unbelief in Jesus. In Hosea 9:10, God tells the people that they had become as vile as the gods they worshiped.
In Hosea 14: 1-4, God invites them to return to the Lord your God. Then God says that he will heal them of their faithfulness.
Praise God that he will do the same for us when we stray away from him.
