Becoming the People of God

In a week filled with tragedy and noise, we pause to ask a deeper question: Who are we becoming? The prophets remind us that God’s concern is not just with our actions, but with the kind of people we are being formed into. Hosea’s marriage to Gomer—a story of unfaithfulness met with relentless love—stands as a living parable of God’s covenant with His people. Though we often place our hope in politics, wealth, or personal success, God calls us back to Himself, offering restoration and a new identity. This message invites us to reflect: Is our life a demonstration of the world’s values, or of divine love? And if we continue on the path we’re walking today, what kind of person are we becoming for eternity?
