Summary
If you're using a few edition of Holy Scripture, you're going to find that in the Old Testament page 226, the fourth chapter of the book of Ruth. The law said that poor people and sojourners could glean off the edges of people's land or if land was harvested and there was some of the harvest that was left, they could then take the harvest. And then, the place at chapter 2, verse 3, chapter 2, verse 3, there we read. Turns out that the closest relative, the story tells us, didn't want to marry Ruth, didn't want the responsibility of purchasing the land of the extra responsibility that would come with that land. From death to life, the sovereignty of God, us who cannot redeem ourselves, we can do absolutely nothing to redeem ourselves. Death to life, death to life, the sovereignty of God, we who can't redeem ourselves, have been redeemed through the blood of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
