In Hosea’s marriage to Gomer, we see a vivid picture of God’s redeeming love. Though Gomer is unfaithful and enslaved, Hosea pursues her, pays the price for her freedom, and restores her as his own—mirroring the way Christ redeems us. Redemption begins with the initiating love of a Redeemer, requires a ransom to set us free, and calls for a new allegiance to Him. Through the cross, Jesus bankrupts Himself to buy us back, transforming our pride into humility and our slavery into freedom.
