Discovering the Gospel in Ruth – Tim Keller

In the eighth episode of the Gospel in Life series "Discovering the Gospel in Every Book of the Bible", Tim Keller looks at the book of Ruth.

Each episode from this series will highlight themes that point to the Gospel and help you discover the overarching narrative of God’s Word in every book — Christ coming into the world to save us from our sins and reconcile us to God the Father.

I am still a new Christian and dont know a whole lot, but tbh I'm gonna start watching more of this because it really helps. God Bless you all, and have a blessed night. ❤️

Ruth leaving her family to be with God reminded me of
Luke 14:16
“If any man come to Me and hate not his father and mother, and wife and children, and brethren and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.”
She left everything behind to be with Noami instead of her own family.

I totally agree that Ruth should not be read as a "moralistic" story, but it is SUCH a breath of fresh air after reading through Judges! After reading Judges, I felt dirty, but the faithfulness displayed in Ruth was a salve to the soul.
As an aside, it seems the contrast between the end of Judges (i.e. the story of the Benjaminites, the ancestors of Saul) and Ruth (with the ancestors of David) may have been a subtle political commentary.

Thank you for being obedient to God! God continues to speak through you Tim!

I am truly thankful for Tim’s dedication and messages. ❤
It’s such an important thing to tie in each book of the Bible with the whole story as he has. He fits it in with the larger story line. I love the story of Ruth and Naomi -I had just read it earlier this week - but hadn’t seen the connection with the gospel of Christ until this morning! This is why I believe the promise that says God‘s mercies are new every morning! So, as I woke up, I was feeling sad for wasting my life and my self for so many years, but then I got down on my knees, and declared to the Lord, You are my redeemer and I know you will continue to redeem my life. And the beautiful part is, this was before I listen to Tim’s talk.

I love this! I love to find the Gospel in every book of the Bible! I am so glad that his teachings still live on. This is helpful to me as I am creating a Bible study video series on the book of Ruth.
