Ruth 1:1-18
1. Contrast the love of Ruth and Orpah for Naomi.
When Naomi, their mother in law, sent Ruth and Orpah to go back home after their husbands died, Orpah kissed goodbye to Naomi and left.
But Ruth replied, "Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me."
When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.
Ephesians 5:1-2
2. How are we to love?
Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
