The Book of Ruth - Part 3

And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore. The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust. Ruth 2:11-12

Our study of Ruth 2 continues. We see that Boaz called Ruth "daughter" and promised her a "full reward" because she left her parents and home country to come be a part of a people (Israel) she had not known before.


The same is true for us when we accept the gift of salvation and become a child of God, part of the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. By leaving this wicked world system and becoming born again into a new kingdom, we also receive a full reward. God is our reward! We are joint heirs with Jesus!
