I finished Ruth this morning. Here she was, not even of the nation of Israel, yet her loyalty to Naomi and God, even in the face of the death of her husband, made God look upon her fairly. Boaz came into her life and, following the Law, redeemed Ruth to himself and took her for his wife. She gave him a child named Obed. This Obed was the grandfather of King David. I believe this shows how much God loves even those who are not born of Israel.
All of us, who are not Jewish by birth, have been accepted by Jesus to be adopted into Abraham's inheritance. Also keep in mind that Jesus' Father, who is God, became our direct Father as Jesus took us to be His brothers and sisters, now can claim God the Father as our true Father through Jesus!
God bless you guys!
