This document provides a summary of the biblical story of Ruth and lessons that can be learned from her life. It discusses how Ruth chose to surrender to Naomi's God, serve Naomi after becoming widowed, and be intimate with her kinsman redeemer, Boaz. Through these choices, Ruth received God's blessings, being redeemed from a life of hopelessness. The document draws parallels between Ruth's experience and how choosing to surrender to God, serve others, and be intimate with our redeemer, Jesus Christ, can lead to redemption and eternal life.
Our Walk In This World, 2 John, Adapted from a Steve Shepherd sermon http://www.sermoncentral.com/sermons/our-walk-in-this-world-steve-shepherd-sermon-on-christian-values-150915.asp
We have essentially told him that Jesus would give him all the things that would enhance his life. Then when persecution and tribulation comes, he falls away. When life gets hard, he becomes bitter, casting off the Savior and consequently resenting those that had told him the “good news”.

The author often cites the bible in prayer, and is based on the concatenation of the scriptures, which often attracts criticism from others. In my daily life, I look for God’s words as a standard of conduct, especially in terms of diet, 129. It was even more subject to criticism. And some people persuaded why it was so ostentatious, why not join the group with everyone? These seem to be reasonable, especially the truth of the world, but in my opinion this is a betrayal of God.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

5. +16 “Entreat me not to
leave you, or to turn
back from following
after you; for wherever
you go, I will go; and
wherever you lodge I
will lodge; your people
shall be my people, and
your God, my God.
+17 Where you die, I will
die and there will I be
buried. The Lord do so
to me, and more also, if
anything but death
parts you and me.”
+Ruth 1:16, 17
6. Lesson 1
Ruth chose to surrender.
“… and your God, my God.”
Surrender - Submit to authority
Ruth recognizes that Naomi’s
God is the One true God.
7. Lesson 2
Ruth chose to serve Naomi.
11 And Boaz answered and
said to her, “It has been fully
reported to me, all that you
have done for your mother-
in-law since the death of your
husband, and how you have
left your father and your
mother and the land of your
birth, and have come to a
people whom you did not
know before.
8. 12“The Lord repay
your work, and a full
reward be given you
by the Lord God of
Israel, under whose
wings you have come
for refuge.”
Ruth 2:11, 12
9. +Philippians 2:4
+Let each of you look not only to his own interests,
but also to the interests of others.
+Our lives are not our own. We are meant to do
service for others. And choosing to serve others
will always bring us more blessings.
10. 1 Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My
daughter, shall I not seek security for you, that it
may be well with you?
2 Now Boaz, whose young women you were with,
is he not our relative? In fact, he is winnowing
barley tonight at the threshing floor.
3 Therefore wash yourself and anoint yourself,
put on your best garment and go down to the
threshing floor; but do not make yourself known
to the man until he has finished eating and
drinking.
4 Then it shall be, when he lies down, that you
shall notice the place where he lies; and you shall
go in, uncover his feet, and lie down; and he will
tell you what you should do.”
Ruth 3:1-4
11. Lesson 3
Ruth chose to be intimate with her
kinsman redeemer.
7 And after Boaz had eaten and
drunk, and his heart was cheerful, he
went to lie down at the end of the
heap of grain; and she came softly,
uncovered his feet, and lay down.
Ruth 3:7
Intimate- closely acquainted
familiar
close
12. 10 Then he said, “Blessed are you of
the Lord my daughter! For you have
shown more kindness at the end
than at the beginning., in that you
did not go after young men,
whether poor or rich.”
11 “And now, my daughter, do not
fear. I will do for you all that you
request, for all the people of my
town know that you are a virtuous
woman.
+Ruth 3:10
13. +Sitting at the feet of Jesus
+O, what words I hear Him say
+Happy place, so near so precious!
+May it find me there each day.
+Sitting at the feet of Jesus
+Where can mortals be more blessed
+There I lay my sins and sorrows
+And when weary find sweet rest.
14. At the feet of
Jesus is found
instruction for
life and
salvation.
When we are
burdened, we need
to spend time at the
feet of Jesus. He will
give us peace,
healing and power.
The very act of falling at
someone’s feet
indicates submission. At
the feet of Jesus our
mind and heart say,
“Not my, will but Thine.”
Worship should be
an experience of
falling at the feet of
Jesus in humility,
adoration, and
devotion.
At the feet of Jesus we
can find forgiveness,
cleansing and a new life.
15. Like Ruth with her kinsman
redeemer, when we sit at the feet of
our redeemer Jesus Christ, we will
get acquainted with Him, we will get
to know more of Him, we will be
closer to Him.
16. And because Ruth chose to do these three things,
chose to surrender to Naomi’s God
chose to serve Naomi
chose to be intimate with her kinsman redeemer
God blessed her. From a life of
hopelessness, she received a life full of
hope. From being a gentile, she was chosen
to become one of the ancestors of King
David. This is a story of redemption.
17. If we,
chose to surrender to God
chose to serve others
chose to be intimate with
our redeemer Jesus Christ
we too can have a beautiful
story of redemption. We can be
with Jesus in that heavenly home
of the redeemed.
