Ruth 4:14-15

We all need redemption. We sense it in our bones. We hear the hurtful words that leave our mouths and we know how much more we think of ourselves compared to our thoughts of God. Many of us think that we can earn our redemption by trying harder or outdoing our negatives by trying to produce more positives. The Bible, on the other hand, presents our redemption as a mysterious gift that came in a mysterious way.
