Summary
In this final episode, Jonny teaches through Ruth chapter 4 and discusses how Obed connects Genesis to Ruth and consequently Ruth to Revelation. The events that transpire in the lives of our main characters effect those who lie far beyond the immediate story itself. Ultimately, the genealogy of Ruth connects us with the genealogy of Matthew 1. 14 Generations after Boaz’s grandson David, the greater Son of David would be born into the very village these events transpire.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, my name is Johnny Artivannis and this is Dialin. Thank you guys so much for listening to the show. |
| 0:05.2 | It would be so helpful if you guys continue to share, subscribe, rate and comment on it. That helps more people hear about it. |
| 0:11.8 | In this episode, we finish our short series in the Book of Ruth, a story about redemption and romance and ultimately about our Lord Jesus Christ. Let's dial in. |
| 0:28.0 | Now the story of Ruth is a story about redemption and redemption is something that is personal. |
| 0:36.5 | What I mean by that is that when God redeems, |
| 0:38.3 | it's not simply a transaction that takes place legally. It is a sacrifice that is performed lovingly. |
| 0:45.3 | What stirs the heart of those redeemed by Christ is not the mere transactional nature of redemption, |
| 0:51.3 | but the reality that it is propelled by love. This is what God continually |
| 0:56.0 | reminds his people throughout Scripture. In Deuteronomy 7, verse 7 and 8, God says, |
| 1:01.6 | The Lord did not set his love on you, nor choose you because you are more a number than any |
| 1:06.1 | of the peoples, for you were the fewest of all the people. God is saying, I didn't choose Israel |
| 1:10.0 | because you were the best or the strongest, but verse 8, but because the Lord loved you. This same reality rings true in the New Testament. Romans 5-8 says that God demonstrates his own love in this, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Galatians 2.20, Paul says, I have been crucified with Christ. |
| 1:28.8 | It is no longer I who live. You know this part. But Christ who lives in me in the life I now live, |
| 1:33.4 | I live by faith in the Son of God, who what? Who loved me and who gave himself up for me. |
| 1:40.6 | Redemption, biblically speaking, is always motivated by love. |
| 1:45.3 | Additionally, we see that God's redemptive plan is not just unfolding on the macro level |
| 1:49.7 | in the lives of the entire world, but also in the lives of individuals. |
| 1:54.6 | Individuals like Ruth. |
| 1:56.6 | Ruth, in this sense, is a story within a larger story. |
| 2:01.9 | Here in this immediate story is an account of a groom who redeems a bride at great cost to himself |
| 2:07.2 | because of his great love for his bride, Ruth. |
| 2:11.2 | Truly, this is the message of the entirety of Scripture. |
