Message from the Minor Prophet Hosea (Chapter 2)

Posted in Bible Study, Hosea, tagged , , on March 24, 2020|

Hosea is preeminently the prophet of love; but unlike some teachers today, he doesn’t minimize the holiness of God. We’re told that “God is love” (1 John 4:8, 16), but we’re also reminded that “God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all” (1:5). God’s love is a holy love, not a sentimental feeling that condones sin and pampers sinners.
–Be Amazed: Restoring an Attitude of Wonder and Worship, Warren W. Wiersbe

I pray that you will take the time to go through the Bible studies that I will be posting in the Minor Prophets in the upcoming days and weeks. I pray that you will hear from the Author and Finisher of your faith just how much He loves you.
