THE TENDER LOVE OF GOD

JEREMIAH was evidently well acquainted with the prophecy of Hosea for the allusions to it in his writing are numerous. For us, so many centuries later, not the least of its values is its astonishing revelation of the tender love of God towards those who are His, His yearning desire that they "might not perish" but might turn unto Him and be saved. This love is expressed in Hosea with such earnestness, that if we had not had this sanction of the word of the prophet himself, we might well not have dared to presume that it could be so great. In the light of Hosea we may enter a little better into the convictions of the apostle Paul that nothing, literally nothing, can "separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

FRED PEARCE, The Christadelphian, 1976, page 99
