The Book of Ruth - Faithfulness & Redemption

Kenneth B. Alexander

Description

Book of Ruth is the story of a heathen woman Ruth from Moab who later became part of the lineage of Jesus Christ. It illustrates how God put together the lineage of David and Christ using a pagan and a prostitute as part of the family tree, due to their faithfulness and willingness to abandon their own cultures and accept Jehovah (YHWH) as the one true God. The exact date of the book is unknown but it occurred within the time of the Judges, probably during Gideon's reign. Samuel is generally considered to be the author.

Introduction to Series -
Bible Book By Book
 
 
This Series of Books will treat the scriptures and the Bible as the full and complete Word of God compiled by God through the pens of men inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Bible says this about itself : “ All Scripture is  inspired [God breathed] by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for  training in righteousness; so that  the man of God may be adequate,  equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). God left for us a record of all that is needed to be known to enable His people full access to His salvation and entrance to His glorious Kingdom. Each scripture, group of scriptures, each Book as a whole has a point; it is saying something from God that we can take away with us just as if God Himself descended and spoke to us in person. It speaks both to the beginner in Christ and to the most mature . Its meaning is ever expanding according to the spiritual growth of the individual.
 
Christ Himself quoted scripture on many occasions. In his very first public appearance He spoke scripture. “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR . HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES,   AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND ,  TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE DOWNTRODDEN, TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD” ( Lk 4:18–19). He quoted Old Testament scripture written down by Isaiah from the Book of Isaiah 61:1-2.
