How do we know election is true according to Hosea?

Answered in 1 source

Hosea's narrative illustrates election by showing God's choice of unworthy individuals, emphasizing His grace and purpose.

The doctrine of election is beautifully portrayed in Hosea through God's command to Hosea to love and marry Gomer, a woman of ill repute. This act signifies God's choice of the unlovable and unworthy, demonstrating that His love and election are not based on human merit but solely on His sovereign grace. In Hosea chapters 1 and 3, we see that God chooses His people despite their rebellion, indicating that election is grounded in God's eternal purpose to redeem those who are undeserving, referred to as 'Gomers.' This profound truth reassures believers of God's unwavering and electing love throughout history.
