Romans 8:1; There is therefore now no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus Rom-7:23. Waring against the law of the mind; burden and grief to the soul as the worst drudgery and captivity could be. I give my life to the Lord Jesus and it brings me into captivity. (Rom-7:25), with the flesh I serve the law of sin; that is, the corrupt nature, the unregenerate part, is continually working towards sin. Rom-7:24, O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? This is the body of death; either the body of flesh, which is a mortal dying body (while we carry this body about with us, we shall be troubled with corruption; when we are dead, we shall be freed from sin, and not before), or the body of sin, the old man, the corrupt nature, which tends to death, that is, to the ruin of the soul. (Heb-9:14), original corruption is a dead body. It was as troublesome to Paul as if he had had a dead body tied to him, which he must have carried about with him. Thi

Ruth: Humble Cheerfully took on what was in front of her Pleased by what she gained by her work A Gentile, yet part of Naomi (grafted in through marriage) Went about doing what God created her to do Naomi: Names means ‘pleasant’ Mara means ‘bitter’ These two names reflect Israel Naomi didn’t try and hide how she felt Honest about state of her life Boaz: Spoke well of people and spoke well to people People spoke well of Boaz Treated his workers well Helped people Each and every person has the potential to make a difference in the life of others, the nations, the world by answering the call of God on their lives. Example of making a difference:   Irene Gleeson 

Ruth took on the whole deal.  She made a full commitment, not a part commitment. Elimech means “God is King”.  It signifies when Elimech dies that ‘God has left the house’.  This typified what was happening in Israel. Naomi means delight, pleasant.  Mara means bitter.  Naomi represents the remnant in Israel. Ruth - gentile bride The main message/theme is redemption.  The kinsman-redeemer. You won’t understand Revelation Chapter 5 if you don’t understand Ruth. In Chapter 1 Naomi gives both Orpah and Ruth a choice:Orpah goes back to her people, her god but Ruth chooses to go with Naomi and chooses the God of Israel Ruth made the whole-hearted decision to follow God In this we see the grace of God, he never fails to fulfill his plans in the face of the progress of evil and shows his grace to his people. When providence made her poor she stoops to her lot.  She is at peace. Israel at this time is desolate in spiritual things even though the harvests are plenty Ruth works - sh

Ruth chapter 1: • Written about the time of the judges • Sometimes God will bring a trial in your life • God is always concerned about the reminant • Naomi no longer pleasant, delight– admitted she was bitter by all that had happened “Mara” • Naomi was honest enough to admit her bitterness.  Are we honest enough with God when we are bitter? • Ruth, a Moabites, leaves all to go with Naomi to a nation she did not know • Ruth showed unconditional love, she was faithful, whole-heartedly devoted to Naomi • Although Israel went from nothing to having abundant harvests, Naomi and Ruth didn’t have food, and they didn
