Summary
But God in His grace and mercy has given us His word, which is a road map for us, this side of heaven, a road map for our journey as his children until we are called into His presence in the fullness. Let us turn to verse 1, where He says, return O Israel to the Lord your God for you have stumbled because of your iniquity. We so often like to talk about the Israelites, like to think about the Israelites, those who are in utter disaster because of their sin. And Hosea tells us, repent, repent, turn to the Lord, return to the Lord. And so we are given the opportunity over and over and over again to return to the Lord to repent, to ask for forgiveness for our sins. When we turn to the Lord, when we return to the Lord with our words of repentance, His response is to lavish us with His love, His mercy and His forgiveness.
