How the Book of Ruth parallels the Christian life and deepens your spiritual growth

from Deeper Christian Podcast

Ruth is one of my favorite Old Testament books in the Bible. Though small and unassuming, it not only parallels our own Christian journey from darkness and sin to light and salvation, but it also has incredible depth that helps our spiritual growth as believers. While many think of the book of Ruth as merely a love story (between Ruth and Boaz), the book actually is an incredible foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, the gospel, and His redemptive work on the cross. In this episode, we briefly look at how the book of Ruth parallels the Christian life, foreshadows Jesus Christ, enriches and deepens our spiritual growth, and highlights Nathan's new Christ-centered study/commentary on the Book of Ruth.
