Ruth

The Gospel of Ruth is a biblical book that tells the story of a Moabite woman named Ruth who married an Israelite named Mahlon. After Mahlon's death, Ruth and her mother-in-law, Naomi, return to Naomi's homeland. There, Ruth meets Boaz, a wealthy relative of Mahlon, and pleads for his help. Boaz marries Ruth, and they have a son named Obed. This son becomes the grandfather of King David, making Ruth an ancestor of Jesus Christ, as recorded in Matthew and Luke. Ultimately, Ruth's loyalty, perseverance, and faith in God are exemplified, as she finds a new life and hope inNaomi's God.
