THE ROMANCE OF REDEMPTION
A Devotional Study of Ruth
by Max Frazier, Jr.
Introduction and Table of Contents
No study of the Book of Judges would be complete without examining those rich truths found within the Book of Ruth. This story, which occurs during the time of the judgeship of Gideon, contains one of the best loved stories found anywhere in the Bible. Maybe it is because the story is so familiar that we neglect the deeper truths which are found within the story.
One of the underlying truths of the story found in Ruth is that of the love which God had for us and which led Him to send His only Son to die on the cross for us redeeming us from the bondage of sin. In fact, the Book of Ruth is the only book in the Bible which portrays the kinsman-redeemer. That fact alone should cause us to study more intently this little book of sacrificial, redemptive love.
We have one request of you: Please read the appropriate passage of Scripture before you join us in these studies. Better yet, read the passage of Scripture and choose your own key verse, which to you reflects the key message of the chapter. This will encourage you in your own searching of the Scriptures!
We are greatly encouraged when one of you writes in and says some particular message was a special blessing. We don't want to waste time needlessly, if the attempt to minister is not fulfilling its purpose, but we are eager to lay ourselves out to whatever extent, if it can bring glory to God and encouragement to the saints around the world. Please share your response with us at info@vsb.net.
