Study 1: Hosea 1-3 A love relationship

Listen to Hosea 1-3 on the audio bible, here.

Summarise the main storyline of God, Hosea and Gomer.
What is your response to this story?

Watch this video from Bibledex for another perspective.


What is nature of God's character and love found in chapters 1-3?

Why do you think the covenant of marriage used to describe our relationship to God?

What does it mean for us as the object of God's love and for us as people who are supposed to reflect God's character?


Kdrama illustration 
"You from another star" is a love story about an alien who landed on Earth in the Joseon Dynasty and, 400 years later, falls in love with a top actress in the modern era. Do Min-joon, the alien, transcends time and space to be with the object of his love. Cheon Song-yi, the movie star, is flawed, lonely and often behaves like a diva which can be annoying to watch...yet she is loved. The story of Hosea's love for his wife and God's love us is equally supernatural and like Gomer and Israel we are undeserving of God's patient love and care.
