Hosea is a book about the love of God and the treachery of our wrongdoing. It is about God's character and our character, and how the gap between the two magnifies his love for us.
Hosea uses the image of marital love to give us a perspective on the human condition and on the nature of God’s love. Grasping what Hosea says about the human condition and the heart of God are primary ways in which we grow. We don’t move beyond these central realities in the Christian life; we move deeper into them. Hosea is here to help.
