God's Redemption Story (Judges - 2 Samuel)Sample

## Ruth - 4/5 Ruth needed help. She and her mother-in-law were poor and hungry, but Ruth had no job and no opportunities to find one. And because she was a foreigner, no one was obligated to help her. But when Boaz saw her, he felt compassion and showed her mercy. For no other reason than love, Boaz married her and gave her a new life. Like Ruth, we need help. We are weak and sinful people, and there’s nothing we can do to save ourselves. But when God sees us, he feels compassion and shows us mercy. For no other reason than love, Jesus paid our price when he died on the cross. His blood washed away our sins so that we can be his bride and start a new life.
