Hosea 1:2 |
|
“Divine Faithfulness” |
A faithful God contends with his unfaithful people. |

Hooks from Hosea |

Jesus faithfulness makes the church a faithful bride. “Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure— for the linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.” – Revelation 19:7-8 |
We may take comfort in knowing that the faithfulness of Christ is counted as our own. “Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; and he will surely do it.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 |
Are any of us faithful? Even when we feel closest to God, are our hearts entirely devoted to him? How would you evaluate your own consistency in your relationship with God? Would your spouse let you get away with the lack of attention and care that you give God? Is our Lord ever unfaithful? Do you live as though you doubt his faithfulness? What are you looking at for your security in your relationship with God, your own faithfulness or Jesus? Are we trying to become more like our faithful Lord, with the strength he himself provides by his Spirit? What should motivate us to deepen our relationship with God? |
