What does Ruth 1 teach us?
In the book of Ruth we read a tender story of conversion, courage, determination, loyalty, and faithfulness. The compassion and love shared by Naomi and her daughter-in-law Ruth can inspire those who study this book to consider their relationships with others both inside and outside of their families.

Galatians 6:7-9
Ruth 1:1-20
Mark 4:1-20
The moral of the Parable of the Sower is that not everyone who hears the Christian gospel will understand and believe. Four scenarios play out for the seed sown by the farmer. The first seeds are sown along the path and represent those who hear and don't understand. The next seeds fall on rocky soil.
Genesis 39:1-23
Romans 12
He describes our reasonable worship as presenting our bodies, our entire lives, to God as if we are holy and acceptable sacrifices. The difference between this and the animal sacrifices of the Old Covenant is that we are to be living, breathing sacrifices, using up our lives in service to God (Romans 12:1).
Luke 18:35-43 He asks only that we are persistent, that we respond to him when we hear him call and that we ask his involvement in our lives in a direct and tangible way. If we join the blind man in approaching Christ like that then, like him, we will receive healing and peace and grace and our lives will be transformed.
1 John 2:28 - 3:10
Hebrews 4-10-5:10
The writer ends his thought on the concept of obedience. Jesus learned obedience through what he suffered. His obedience to the will of the Father made him the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him. The obedience of the Redeemer made salvation available to the obedient redeemed.
Mark 1:1–13 rapidly introduces the ministry of Jesus, as introduced by John the Baptist. While other Gospels include many details, the Gospel of Mark briefly sets the stage for Jesus' baptism by John.
