Hosea 14: 1 Return, Israel, to the Lord your God. Your sins have been your downfall! 2b Say to him: “Forgive all our sins and receive us graciously, that we may offer the fruit of our lips.

4 “I will heal their waywardness and love them freely, for my anger has turned away from them.
8b I will answer him and care for him. I am like a flourishing juniper; your fruitfulness comes from me.”

9 Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.

While Jesus’s sacrifice made us righteous, our repeated action of choosing God, or walking in His ways grants us restoration, abundant free love, having our needs met, solutions, and fruitfulness. It starts and continues with making a repeated choice.
