Ruth was so close to redemption, but knowing that you have a redeemer and responding to the redeemer are two different things. In this text, Ruth makes a bold move to put herself in a place to be redeemed. Ruth’s response is symbolic of our own response. What brings about changing in our life is not just knowing we have a redeemer but putting ourselves in a place to be redeemed. Today we will look at Ruth and Boaz‘s responses and what we can learn about our own responses, redemption, and rest.

Ruth and Naomi found themselves in the middle of one of the darkest points in Israel’s history. Like Naomi, it would be easy and maybe normal to only ask “why?” when we’ve lost so much. But thank God for people like Ruth that come alongside us when we’re asking “why?” Although hurt, both Naomi And Ruth take a step that changes their lives and their future families lives. These women’s steps are symbolic of the ones that you and I choose to make that also change the course of our lives and others too. When we’re completely broken, we can still see the presence, power, and providence of a very good God.

In Romans 14 & 15, Paul addresses the issue of unity within the early church, particularly regarding differences in practices and opinions between "weak" and "strong" believers. Paul urges both groups to accept and love one another, focusing on how to live together in harmony despite their differing viewpoints. Like these first generation Christians, when we practice this kind of unity, our identity in Christ builds a powerful influence.

In Romans 13, Paul is writing to a group of Christians in Rome that are discouraged by what’s happening in their government. While it’s okay to be discouraged, Paul would argue it’s not okay to be hopeless or unhelpful. It could be easy to see what’s happening in Rome as an obstacle, but God wants us to know it also creates a unique opportunity. In our text, Paul shows how those that govern have a responsibility, but those of us that are governed also have a responsibility to be light in the darkness. Our role is to not just submit to authorities, but also to submerge ourselves in our culture in a way that reflects Christ.

Romans 9:1-8

Though a Jew himself, Paul was heartbroken that so many of his Israelite brethren had not accepted Jesus as the Messiah despite all the privileges and promises that God had given them. In our text this morning, Paul builds a case that God's promises have not failed, but rather given to all those who respond to Christ in faith, no matter their nationality.

Coming from a place of privilege? The Jews certainly were. God had provided them with all the blessings He could promise. They received God's adoption as sons, His divine glory, the covenants, the law, all promises, temple worship, the patriarchs, and the Messiah and yet their abuse of these privileges caused them to be proud and unaware of their role in sharing the promises to the world. Even though their rejections, God worked His sovereign plan to bring about the fulfillment of these promises to all, those Jews who accepted Christ along with the Gentiles who were grafted into the promises through their belief in Christ.

In Romans 7 Paul illustrates the dilemma we have all felt, we want to do good, but we find ourselves doing the very things that we don’t want to do. We ask what Paul asks in Romans 7:24 who can rescue me? Paul answers that question in Romans 8 and the answer is the Holy Spirit. In our text today, Paul lets the church know that they have a benefit to claim in the Holy Spirit that helps them in their struggle with sin, giving them presence, power, assurance, adoption, and intercession.
