The Kinsman Redeemer, A Study Through Ruth: Redemption in Earnest 3:1-8

Last week, Ruth encountered her redeemer. She met Boaz as she “happened” to glean in his field. Boaz is the kinsman-redeemer, and as such, he portrays a picture of Christ, our Ultimate Redeemer. We saw Boaz approach Ruth. He protected, provided, and encouraged Ruth.
Her responsibility was to live in faith, grace, and hope.
In our passage today, we see Ruth approaching Boaz for redemption. What a beautiful picture of living out faith in God’s grace! I’ve jokingly referred to Ruth as “forward” in going to Boaz, but, in reality, her approach was the epitome of humility.
As we unpack our passage, I want you to pay close attention to how Ruth approaches her redeemer—there are many here to the New Testament Christian life.
