Hosea 2:2 • Hosea sets the stage as Gods unfaithful people continue in harlotry and the coming of the Messiah soon to come to buy them back.  To redeem them from their faithlessness and pay the ultimate price for a worthless spouse.  Hosea 4:1-14.

  5. 7 steps to being faithful  to Christ • #1.  God’s LOVE is enough. • Deuteronomy 7:9-11 to a 1000 generations.  • Psalm 86:5-6 In the day of your trouble God is there • Psalm 136:26“For His mercy endures forever!” • Zephaniah 3:17 Oh our Lord God is with us come what may. • Romans 5:8“For God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” • 1 John 4:8“He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”
