Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hosea 14:4

I will heal: it is a usual metaphor in Scripture; sin is our disease.

DISCOURSE: 1176THE BLESSINGS THAT PENITENTS MAY EXPECTHosea 14:4. I will heal their backsliding; I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.MEN who have never seen the evil of sin are ready to imagine that God will not punish: under the idea of advancing the attribute of mercy, they deprive the Deity of all justice, holiness, and truth.

Grace Abounding March 22nd, 1863 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "I will love them freely." Hosea 14:4 . This sentence is a body of divinity in miniature. He who understands its meaning is a theologian, and he who can dive into its fullness is a true Master in divinity. "I will love them freely," is a condensation of the glorious message of salvation which was delivered to us in Christ Jesus our Redeemer. The sense hinges upon the word "freely." "I will love them freely." Here is the glorious,... read more
