How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

Welcome to Through the Bible.

In our study, our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon and McGee helps us to understand a very difficult

section of scripture in Hosea chapter 5, verses 1 to 14.

And it's really an important message, one that we all need to hear.

But before we get to it, I just want to remind you that as we travel through the pages of

Hosea, our one prayer is that we will all recognize

our need for Jesus Christ and respond to his invitation of eternal life in him. In fact, many

years ago, a listener wrote to Dr. McGee about being saved as a result of hearing a sermon on

Josea. Dr. McGee was so moved by the letter that he wanted to share it. Let's listen now.

I want to share with you today a letter that's quite a remarkable letter because it came

some time ago to us, in fact, around the first of the year, and it was about a Sunday sermon we gave. Well, listen to the letter. It says,

I started listening to your program the beginning of this year. Then one day I decided to listen

to your Sunday sermon. The sermon was on the book of Hosea and the sin against God's love.

Right there, I asked Jesus to be my Savior and Lord of my life.

I have hope for the future, not just for me, for my five children, my husband, and anyone who will

listen to me speak of the kingdom of God and accept Christ. May I say to you the one thing that

even this book, it will bring men and women to Christ,

give them a hope, if you please, actually a hope for the future.

Yes, that's our prayer.

If you found hope in Jesus Christ through our studies together,

we'd love to hear your story too. You can leave us a message in the feedback section of our prayer. If you found hope in Jesus Christ through our studies together, we'd love to hear your story too.
