In this 2nd part of the "Redeeming Love" sermon by Pastor Ryan, he discusses the concept of real love being redemptive. True love is about restoration, aligning with God's practice of restoring rather than retaliating.
Ruth, a Moabite widow, demonstrates profound loyalty to Naomi, her Israelite mother-in-law. This sermon dives into biblical typology, depicting Ruth as a prefiguration of the church being grafted into God's family through grace, while Boaz symbolizes Christ, the Redeemer.
It stresses that God's redemption plan often targets those whom society deems unworthy, illustrating a transformative love that turns outsiders into beloved insiders.
Pastor Ryan stresses the importance of perseverance in faith, using Ruth's story as a metaphor for the New Testament Church's relationship with Christ.
The message ends with a call to embrace faith fervently, maintain hope, and trust in God's ultimate plan and unconditional love.

Key scripture:
Ruth 1:16-17
But Ruth replied, “Don’t ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. Wherever you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord punish me severely if I allow anything but death to separate us!”
