We have already seen so many great life lessons in the book of Ruth. Now let’s take a look at the life applications and lessons from Ruth chapter three. I love what the Lord shows us in these scriptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t think there is a better story in the Bible to show the importance of being of noble character and having a good reputation. Let’s take a look at these lessons in Ruth chapter three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Brief History of the Book of Ruth – Third Chapter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The third chapter of Ruth begins with Naomi giving Ruth directions that may not have made much sense to her as a foreigner living out the Jewish customs of the day. Naomi’s instructions were for Ruth to put on her best clothes, go down to the threshing floor at night, wait until Boaz was in good spirits and fell asleep, then lay at Boaz’s feet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This resulted in the possibility of Boaz becoming their kinsman redeemer. He just needed to make sure the closer family redeemer did not want to take the responsibility, and then he would make it official. This would carry on their family line as well as give them both security for the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
