Ruth
The book of Ruth is a story about redemption and filled with many pictures of the people of God.
Boaz, the redeemer, is a picture of Jesus who redeems those outside the family of God.
Naomi is a picture of Israel who had left the promised land because things became difficult. She and her family settled in Moab for a time then returned back to the promised land.
Ruth is a picture of the church who was brought into the family of God through faith alone and received the blessing of marriage to the redeemer.
It's in this story we find redemption offered to those outside the chosen people of God who have a genuine love for God.
