The case of Ruth and Naomi gives to us a wonderful picture of one who has decided for Christ.
Ruth heard about Naomi’s God and her country and her people, and she was set on going to that country and dwelling there. Her heart had been filled with sadness in her own land, so she wanted a better country.
Have you found this world to be a sad place, dear reader? There is nothing here to satisfy, and I trust if you have so found it, that you may be desiring a better place. If you do, we will not ask you to go to this poor world to find pleasure, as Naomi wanted Ruth to go back to the land of Moab, where she had found so much sorrow, but we desire to have you go with us to the home above by the only way that God in His grace has provided for us, and that way is Christ. Have you decided for Christ? Can you say
This is decision in the right way. If you have so decided, listen to these words of the Lord Jesus:
Decide now for Christ.
