The story of Ruth's redemption by Boaz reveals a spiritual legality. Just as Boaz acted properly and lawfully to secure Ruth, Christ's Atonement is a finished, legal reality in heaven. Now being atoned, when we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us, not only out of mercy alone, but because of the completed work of His Son. This truth calls us to a total commitment, like that of Ruth, so that we may walk fully in the blessing of being part of God's family.
