Hosea 1 Bible Study

Through similitudes, God warned the people of the northern kingdom of Israel that God's judgment was coming, that His mercy had come to an end, and that they were no longer His people. Yet God promised to gather His elect under one Head, Jesus Christ, and keep His promise to make spiritual Israel an innumerable company, His own people, through faith in Jesus and His cross.

We are all without excuse under God's law.

The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares - Matthew 13:24ff.

This parable of Jesus is a warning to us that, wherever the Gospel is sown and true believers are in this world, the devil will also sow his lies and false teaching to lead people into false security and hope based on their own works and righteousness or upon some other lie or deception of the evil one. They may appear to be a part of Christ’s church in this world but they are not. They remain impenitent and unbelieving. In the end, they will be gathered up and cast into the fires of hell!

Not ashamed of the Gospel - Romans 1:1-17

The Holy Ghost, through the hearing of God's Word, reveals to us the true meaning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and a tremendous weight and burden are lifted from us, for we come to know that salvation is God's free gift to us in His Son, Jesus Christ, which is ours through faith.

Deuteronomy 18:15-19
15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; 16 According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. 17 And the LORD said unto me, They have well [spoken that] which they have spoken. 18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19 And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require [it] of him.
(v. 15) Promise: God will raise up a Prophet like unto Moses, we are to hear Him and heed His Word.
(v. 16) According to their desire at Mt. Horeb. Cf. Exodus 20:18-21; Deut. 5:23-31.
(v. 17-18) Well-spoken that which they had spoken — who can stand in the presence of God and hear His Word?
Jesus the fulfillment — the Prophet like unto Moses — the Mediator of a new covenant. Acts 3:22-23; John 1:14-18; 3:31-34; God the Father on the Mount of Transfiguration — Luke 9:34-35. The Great Commission — Matthew 28:18-20.
(v. 19) Those who do not listen to and heed the voice of the Son will be judged by God. Cf. John 8:42-47; 12:44-50; John 3:14-18, 36; Heb. 1:1-3; 2:1-4.
Do you hear the Son and heed His Word? He calls upon you to repent of your sinful ways and look to Him and His cross in faith for pardon and forgiveness. Cf. Luke 24:46-47.
Cf. 1 John 5:7-12.

Are you, like Simeon, ready to die and stand before God, your Maker? Are you at peace with God, knowing that your sins are paid for and forgiven for Christ’s sake?

Are you ready to depart this life in peace? - Luke 2:29-32

When we depart this life, can we say with Simeon, “Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel”?
