Esther & Ruth (Reformed Expository Commentary) QUOTES

1 " Choosing the way of Christ not only means identifying with Christ, however; ‘it also means identifying with the stubborn, recalcitrant, and frequently offensive flock that he calls his own. . . .Yet as flawed as the people of God are, if the Lord is to be our God then his people must be our people too. "

― , Esther & Ruth (Reformed Expository Commentary)

2 " [For the genuine believer] There are moments in life when God's pursuit of us seems like that of a persistent mosquito, constantly buzzing around our heads and causing us pain, and we are utterly powerless to shake him off. "

― , Esther & Ruth (Reformed Expository Commentary)

3 " Manybear the label "Christian," yet their Christianity has no real impact on life-defining decisions, just as Elimelech bore the name "My God is king" yet lived in a way that made it evident that God wasn't his king at all. The roads we choose for ourselves often make our deepest heart commitments plain for all to see. "

4 " God's judgment on sin is reliable, for his Word is faithful, but even more consistent is God's desire to restore wandering sinners to himself. Grace is always God's last word. "
