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!

The Book of Ruth - Part 2

And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter. Ruth 2:2.

Come learn how Ruth, the Moabitess, found grace and favor from the Lord when she set out to glean in the fields during Israel's barley harvest. The Bible says that she went out expecting good, and lo and behold, ended up in Boaz's field, where God's favor and blessings rained down on her! Despite her grim situation and unsavory background, she was destined to be King David's great-grandmother and in the lineage of the Lord Jesus Christ!

The same is true for us today who are IN Christ Jesus! We are blessed of Him and are of His seed!
