THE BOOK OF RUTH

Introduction
By Johnny Tatum

TABLE: FOUR ASPECTS OF REDEMPTION

Name of Woman in the Genealogy of Jesus of Nazareth	Brought into the Genealogy of Jesus through a Biology with—	Biological Mother of—	Personal Sin of Woman	[Aspect of Redemption] and Biblical Testimony of Redemption
TAMAR Matthew 1:3	Judah	Perez	Fornicator	[Qualification for Redemption = Sinner] Tamar was a sinner. That did not mean she was doomed; instead, she was qualified for redemption.
RAHAB Matthew 1:5	Salmon	Boaz	Prostitute	[Basis for Redemption = Faith] Rahab was a sinner who believed in the God of Israel.
RUTH Matthew 1:5	Boaz	Obed	Morally Good Unbeliever	[Way of Redemption = Grace] Ruth was not a great sinner. She was morally good, however, the Law excluded her — Ruth was a Moabitess. Even morally good people come into the Kingdom by God's grace.
BATHSHEBA Matthew 1:6	David	Solomon	Adulterer	[Blessing of Redemption = Sinful Acts Turned for Good and Glory by God] God forgives, God washes [the sin of David and Bathsheba], and God uses our sin for our good and His glory [produced Solomon].
