The Bible teaches us that God desires to be known and loved, speaking to humanity through prophets like Hosea. He is a God of judgment, measuring sin and sometimes punishing His chosen people. However, He is also merciful, offering hope and restoration. Through the prophet Hosea, God promises to scatter and then replant Israel, calling them sons of the living God. This message is reflected in the Bible's teaching on faith and the importance of God's word.

God's mercy is the foundation of our spiritual act of worship, which is to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to Him. This requires a daily commitment to separate ourselves from the world and its evil patterns, and to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, taking on the mind of Christ and gaining wisdom and understanding of God's will for our lives.

God has always reserved a remnant of Jews and Gentiles for himself, and his predetermined plan of salvation for the world is to save a remnant. The Christian faith has Jewish roots, and Gentiles should not be arrogant towards Jews, but rather have a healthy fear of God and remember his kindness towards those who truly believe. The mystery of Israel's future is that God is not finished with the Jews, and he will save a large number of them, perhaps all of them, in the end times.

God's redemptive plan unfolds in stages, with the gospel first presented to the Jews, then to the Gentiles, and ultimately returning to the Jews. This plan is rooted in the concept of the olive tree, representing true Israel, where believing Gentiles are grafted in as wild olive shoots, sharing in the nourishing sap from the root, the patriarchs and prophets who believed God's promises.

God's wrath remains on us due to our sinful nature, but we can be saved by faith in the Gospel, which reveals the truth of God's plan for us. Through general and particular revelation, God has revealed Himself to humanity, but many suppress this truth and turn to idolatry, leading to natural sin, unnatural sin, and ultimately, total depravity. Our nation's downward spiral is evident in its rejection of God's moral law, including abortion and homosexuality, and we must repent and fear God to avoid judgment.
