Gomer - Her Legacy In Scripture

Gomer - Her Legacy In Scripture

Read Hosea 1:2 – 2:7; 3:1 – 5.

1. In what ways does Hosea 2:2 – 7 reflect Hosea’s feelings about Gomer? In what ways do these verses reflect God’s feelings about his people?

2. Why is adultery a fitting symbol for the way humans treat God?

3. Put God’s promises for his people in Hosea 1:10 – 2:1 into your own words.

4. In Hosea 3:2, Hosea has to pay money and goods to buy Gomer back from whatever situation she’s landed herself in. She has apparently run off and ended up selling herself into prostitution to survive. What would it take for a man to do what Hosea does in 3:1 – 3?

5. How are you like Gomer? How has God pursued you and bought you back?
