“Are you bearing fruit for the kingdom?” When Boaz and Ruth married they became a symbol of the union of the church and Christ. They went on to bear a child which symbolized the communion required to bear fruit. It is the same in our lives, we form a union with Christ when we are saved and we go on to have communion with him in order to bear fruit for the Kingdom of God. This is the seventh message in a 7-week series on the book of Ruth called Rescue & Rest.
