I Have Bought It All

The rip-roaring romance between Ruth and Boaz is but a shadow of the mutual love between Christ and his church. Yet, it does contain many instructive lessons for anyone seeking a similarly beautiful and successful romance. Or healthy relationships of any kind.

As Boaz makes a legal and permanent commitment to Ruth, we learn much concerning what a godly marriage consists of. And through them we see much concerning Christ’s loving commitment to his people.

Series: Redeemed! A Study In the Book of Ruth
Text: Ruth 4:1-12

1) You are making a legal transaction.

Point to ponder: Redemption is not primarily emotional or romantic — it is a legal transaction, a price paid to complete a transaction.

Question to consider: As a believer, if Jesus Christ paid the complete cost for your sins at the cross, how certain is your salvation?

2) You are buying it all.

Point to ponder: Boaz committed to care for, stay with, overlook, and love Ruth for life.

Question to consider: Do you love your spouse as Jesus loves, overlooking failures and forgiving offenses?

3) You are in need of help.

Point to ponder: As in every area of Christian life, married couples need the support of community and the strength of Christ to succeed.

Question to consider: Is a false sense of pride preventing you from opening up to others, or the Lord, regarding your need for help?

Are you starving for want of wonder?

God tells us, over and over again, to focus our starving souls on the superb reality of who He is, what He is doing, and what He promises to do for all who trust in Him.

And God’s invitation to glory in Him is nowhere more explicit than in the repeated command to ‘Behold.’

Justin O. Huffman invites us to meditate on ten of the occasions the command ‘Behold’ is used in the New Testament, and to feast on the wonderful truth we find there.

“Justin Huffman takes the familiar truths of Christ’s gospel and helps us to view them again with wonder—a sense of glory that both fascinates us and fills us with awe. Here is a book that focuses attention on Jesus and says, ‘Behold your God!’.”
     —Joel Beeke


“Behold provides a corrective lens for us to see that there is more to life and invites us to satisfy our deep soul–hunger by feasting on Jesus, the Son of God.”
     —Joel Morris
