A Study on Ruth

A major theme throughout the book of Ruth is Redeemer. In all of Scripture, we can look beyond the physical story being told to see how it points to a bigger and more eternal story, fulfilled in Jesus. While this is a story of human redemption, we can learn so much about our perfect redeemer, Jesus, who sacrificed himself for all mankind to provide a way for us to have a personal relationship with God once again. I hope this story of Ruth inspires and encourages you to trust in a God who always loves us and provides for us.
