Hosea 1, 2

Regardless of how faithful we think we’ve been to God, we’ve all fallen far short. We all deserve the punishments that Gomer reaped for her prostitution. Yet, in his great mercy God sent Christ to pay the penalty for our sin. Jesus is the Door of Hope opened to us so we can be restored to God’s favor.

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that called you, who also will do it. 1 These. 5:23, 24
