The grace we have received from God must be valued highly. Despite opposition and suffering for Christ, we must endure in order to gain the crown.
If we would have God’s favor, we must follow God’s direction and acknowledge God’s sovereignty over us in all aspects of life, business and society.
God’s people should be known for doing good works. Rather than stirring up trouble, arguing over theological intricacies or being focused on oneself, we should seek to help people in need.
This play on words seems to recognize the reliance and trust of both Boaz and Ruth upon the Lord, but also the role God has humans play in his plans.
The story of Ruth gives us hope that even though our world may be dark and ugly with sin, God creates beauty through people who respond to his call.
A key principle in disciple-making is that we should not only imitate or follow the words of Jesus, but we should also follow the ways of Jesus.
