Redemption isn’t just for a SELECT group, it’s for ALL people.

v. 8-9 – Every culture has its own ways of determining an individual’s VALUE.
v. 10-13 – Ruth, Orpah, and Naomi had EVERYTHING taken from them.
v. 14 – Naomi loves Ruth even though she DOESN’T believe.
God wants us to LOVE people who don’t love Him.
Naomi’s love for Ruth changes Ruth.
v. 16-18 – “Your people will be my people and your God MY GOD.”
