What does the Bible say about God's grace in the book of Ruth?

Answered in 1 source

The book of Ruth illustrates God's grace by showing how He calls individuals from darkness to His truth, as evident in Ruth's commitment to Naomi and her God.

In the book of Ruth, we see a beautiful depiction of God's grace at work through Ruth's life. She was a Moabitess, immersed in a culture that worshipped false gods, yet God's sovereign purpose led her to abandon that dark life and embrace the true God of Israel. Her declaration to Naomi, 'Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God,' showcases a profound transformation brought about by God's grace. This change not only signifies Ruth's commitment to Naomi, but it also points to her turning away from idolatry towards the one true God. Ruth's story exemplifies God's ability and willingness to extend grace to those whom society might overlook or consider unworthy, emphasizing that His call to salvation is for all, regardless of their background or past.
