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.

The Transforming Power of Abiding in Christ #7

1st John - The Transforming Power of Abiding in Christ - Northern VA 2007

Eph 4:1-13 - three levels of unity: of the Spirit; of service; of faith. 1Jo 5:1-21 - Necessity of cleansing, obedience to His commandments (love one another as I have loved you). We are all called to be martyrs - "Not my will but Thine be done." Jam 1:22 - Key to victorious life is surrender. Faith conquers fear. Effective prayer has two aspects: 1. praise and exult God, 2. pray for somebody else.

From Series: "1st John - The Transforming Power of Abiding in Christ - Northern VA 2007"

This series details John's description of our being 'in Him' - abiding in Christ. This contrasts Paul's use of the phrase expressing positional truth. The key verse is 1Jo 2:6 'He who says he abides in Him ought to walk just as He walked.' The series opens many truths in 1st John while covering the entire epistle.
