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.

In but not of

We share identification with Christ, a separation from the world (Joh 17:11-19). This includes a challenge – Jesus was the message; He sent the disciples with Him. For the same purpose, we’ve been sent (Luk 19:10). Jesus' Kingdom is not of this world (Joh 18:36). When His will is done in our lives, we reflect of His Kingdom (Mat 6:10, Mat 6:33). We are citizens of heaven (Phi 3:20-21); God expects performance in accordance with privileges we’ve received (Rom 12:1-2); (1) Provision - "the Mercies of God"; (2) Decision - "present your body"; (3) Conclusion - "transformed by the renewing of your mind". We are ambassadors (2Co 5:14-15; 2Co 5:20). Put on Christ (Rom 13:9-14).
