The book of Hosea is divided into two unequal sections: The first (Chapters 1–3) uses the relationship between Hosea and Gomer, to set the stage
 for the second (Chapters 4–14), which deals with God’s complaint against Israel and the coming judgment. In the first, we have the faithful prophet and the faithless bride; in the second, we see the faithful God and faithless Israel.
The theme of the book is the loyal love of God for idolatrous Israel, and the power of His redemption and forgiveness to transform her into His beloved bride.

Ephesians #45

Ephesians #45

Paul uses family relationships -- marriage and family -- to characterize ministry relationships (1Th 2:4-12, Eph 5:22-23; Eph 6:1-5). "Submitting to one another in the fear of God" (Eph 5:21). Blessings are given for us to become a channel of them. We need a relationship revolution: (1) there are only two kinds: good and bad; (2) examples of the contrast are the "Orange" and Bolshevik revolutions; (3) good revolutions are based on responsibility personal relationships; (4) every believer has been enlightened, given power, to have profound impact on the world around them (Mat 28:18-22); (5) this begins at home. Marriage becomes a living witness to Christ and church. Family illustrates love among the brethren (2Co 3:6).

Scripture References: Matthew 28:18-22, Ephesians 5:21, Ephesians 6:1-5, Ephesians 5:22-23

More than any book Ephesians reveals the blessings from God based on our relationship with Jesus Christ by grace through faith. Eph 1:3 is the a key verse. Other key verses by chapter include Eph 2:8 Eph 3:19 Eph 4:1 Eph 5:18 and Eph 6:10-11.
