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.

Romans #30
From Series: "Romans"
The book of Romans is the most complete set of Christian doctrines in the Bible. It's necessary to grasp for our spiritual growth and renewal. Romans presents all theology as stemming from the fact of Jesus Christ's crucifixion burial and resurrection. In this sense the whole counsel of God - concepts from all of scripture - is represented in this book. Its over-riding theme is justification by faith (Rom 1:16-17).
