Pamphlet 1412 Hos kc 4-2

 Christians must choose, by their own free will, to love God.

So what is God to do with his people, Israel, who have become spiritual whores?

The good news is He has a loving plan of salvation designed to cause her to return unto Him of her own free will, of her own desire.

You see, just asking her nicely to stop her adultery isn't going to cut it.

There must needs be some intervention to cause her to see the light and desire in her heart to return to her first love.

Salvation is a choice.

Just as Israel chose to forsake God and become an harlot, likewise she must choose life and live (Deut. 30:19).

Our Father will not force anyone to love Him, nor can He really.

Think about it!

You cannot "force" your children to love you, can you?

They have free will and their love must come from within their hearts.

Salvation therefore is a matter of individual choice.

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
