Remarkably, the person who so clearly embodies God’s love is a Moabite woman – she’s not Jewish. Ruth’s steadfast loyalty to Naomi and her wholehearted embrace of the God of Israel reveal her as a true daughter of Israel and a worthy ancestor of David. She is proof that entrance into God’s kingdom is not determined by ancestry or nationality, but by living in obedience to God through faith

Isn’t it amazing how Ruth’s story embodies that truth centuries before Paul and others wrote it. Entrance into the Kingdom of God has always been about His grace and our faith. Paul’s teachings (and others as well) were not introducing anything new, but refocusing our attention on the fact that it is the condition of our heart, not our lineage that matters.
