Hosea & Gomer: Undeserved Love

The story of Hosea and Gomer is a remarkable example of undeserved love. The Lord used His prophet’s marriage to an unfaithful wife to illustrate His unfailing and unceasing love for His Chosen Nation, Israel. This timeless story is proof that God’s love is based on covenant and choice, not on His nation’s (or our) given response at any one time or place. We all have something in our past that we are less than proud of. Yet the love of our Lord erases all of our past sins and mistakes, and He covers us with a love that will endure for eternity.
