1 Corinthians 1:25 'For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.'

Why incarnation?

John 1:1-5 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.'

God makes the ordinary extraordinary

Ruth 4:14 "Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a redeemer, and may his name be renowned in Israel!"

Sovereign hope and righteous strategy

Ruth 3:1 "Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?"

Refuge under the wings of God

Ruth 2:2 "And Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Let me go to the field and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor.” And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.”

God's narrative and my life

Ruth 1:22 "So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabite her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest."

Why the gospel is such good news

Romans 3:26 "It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus."

The Gospel converts

John 3:3-6 'Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.'

The gospel romance. Part 1

John 14:2 "Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms."
