Love is Loyal! There is no greater portrait of loyalty than the statement Ruth made to Naomi as they were about to enter the nation of Israel. Ruth and Naomi stand at the border of a Jewish society without hope of marriage, without hope of ever being accepted, without hope of ever having children. For this Gentile woman in a Jewish society, her only future would be serving her mother-in-law. Now listen to her words: Entreat me not to leave you, or turn back from following after you, for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. Where you die, I will die, and there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you and me. Ruth 1:16-17. What was the result of her loyalty? She met and married Boaz a mighty man of wealth. Their first child was named Obed, and he became the great-grandfather of Solomon and an ancestor of Jesus Christ. Ruth was listed in the genealogy of Christ. Her loyalty brought het to a position of immortality. May I ask you this question? Is your love loyal?
