Ruth is a love story about the love of God. Ruth worked, waited, and sought after Boaz to redeem her. Likewise, Jesus is willing and able to save us.

Rahab, the harlot, is mentioned three times in the New Testament. She is in the genealogy of Jesus and is listed with the men of faith. Rahab is a tremendous illustration of saving faith and teaches us four lessons about this saving faith.

Every time we see Miriam in the Bible, she speaks or sings. Sometimes, her speech is for good, but when she lets sin creep into her heart, Miriam takes her eyes off God and loses her song. Pastor Wiersbe shows us what we can learn from this singing prophetess.

What’s worse than watching someone deteriorate physically? Pastor Wiersbe suggests that it’s watching a person deteriorate spiritually while pulling others down with them.  When we are first introduced to Rebekah in Genesis 24, she is kind, pure, courteous, and spiritual. But by the end of her life, she was a manipulating, scheming, lying, failure. As we study her life, let us be mindful that we are just as susceptible to this deterioration.

Lot’s wife was worldly. Fixated on the things of the world, she couldn’t leave those items behind to follow God. Her life is a warning for believers. She hoped in the world, but we must place our hope in Jesus. We must not take our eyes off Him.

Sarah learned that it doesn’t pay to laugh at God—He always knows what He’s doing. Dr. Wiersbe uses Sarah’s laughter to teach us about our faith and joy. If we rely on the promises of God, we can have faith to laugh.

Eternal life is the greatest gift ever offered to man. Every single person ever born is going to live forever, even after their time on Earth is over. The question is where will they end up.
