Summary: I. Problem vs.

I. Problem vs.1 - With Hosea it was the adultery of Gomer

A. Sin is our problem.

B. We're like Gomer James 4:4, Rom 3:10, 3:23

C. Gomer gave lovers credit for properity

1. Hosea 2:5-7 - It was Hosea that proved for her.

a. Does Christ wonder why we give credit to other people instead of Him.

II. Price vs. 2 - Hosea paid for Gomer

A. With Gomers lifestyle, Hosea still bought her back.

B. The silver and Barley was a full price for a slave.

C. Jesus Christ paid the price for our salvation.

1. 1 Peter 1:18-19

2. Titus 2:14

3. Rom. 3:24

With the problem of sin, Christ paid the price for us.

III. Promise vs. 3 - Hosea pledged his love for Gomer.

A. Hosea declared her to be faithful BUT gave his promise to be faithful to her.

B. Heb. 13:5 - He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Jesus Christ deplayed His ability to love a people that was unlovable.

Thanks be to God for the Cross of Calvary!
