In Ruth 3, Naomi encourages Ruth to approach Boaz and request redemption according to God’s law. Ruth humbly follows Naomi’s plan, proposing marriage to Boaz in a private, respectful way. Boaz is honored but reveals there’s a closer relative with the first right to redeem her. Still, he promises to act if the other man declines. Boaz’s integrity and Ruth’s faith highlight their trust in God’s Word. This midnight encounter offers a powerful picture of Christ’s redeeming love—He works on our behalf while we rest in His grace, trusting that only He can secure our eternal redemption.
