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 Amazing Race 3

The Amazing Race

Heb 12:1-3 We're in the arena God has predetermined for us. We have our own personal race. We start the race when we become Christians. The race will be finished. We race against ourselves (Spirit vs flesh). The end is evaluated by Jesus Christ. In Jer 12:1-5 Jeremiah warned Israel for 40 years. When he questioned God, Jeremiah found out that to that point, he was only running with the footmen; a day was coming he'd have to run with the horseman. Job also questioned God. God asked Job "where were you when I laid the foundations of the Earth"? God asked Paul a similar question (Act 9:4); Paul responded "what would you have me to do"? (Act 9:6)

Scripture References: Acts 9:6, Acts 9:4, Jeremiah 12:1-5, Hebrews 12:1-3
