Ruth attachment to Naomi is compared to:

1. Elisha's attachment to Elijah

2 Kings 2:2-6 (Amplified Bible)

2:2 And Elijah said to Elisha, Tarry here, I pray you, for the Lord has sent me to Bethel. But Elisha replied, As the Lord lives and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they went down to Bethel.

2:3 The prophets’ sons who were at Bethel came to Elisha and said, Do you know that the Lord will take your master away from you today? He said, Yes, I know it; hold your peace.

2:4 Elijah said to him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray you, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. But he said, As the Lord lives and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they came to Jericho.

2:5 The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came to Elisha and said, Do you know that the Lord will take your master away from you today? And he answered, Yes, I know it; hold your peace.

2:6 Elijah said to him, Tarry here, I pray you, for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan. But he said, As the Lord lives and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. And the two of them went on.

2. JESUS' faithfulness to the two disciples

Luke 24:28-29 (Amplified Bible)

24:28 Then they drew near the village to which they were going, and He acted as if He would go further.

24:29 But they urged and insisted, saying to Him, Remain with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. So He went in to stay with them.

3. Paul's faithfulness to JESUS even unto death

Acts 21:13 (Amplified Bible)

21:13 Then Paul replied, What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart like this? For I hold myself in readiness not only to be arrested and bound and imprisoned at Jerusalem, but also [even] to die for the name of the Lord Jesus.

4. A certain scribe untested loyalty to JESUS

Matthew 8:19 (Amplified Bible)

8:19 And a scribe came up and said to Him, Master, I will accompany You wherever You go.

5. Peter's unsure faithfulness to JESUS

John 13:37 (Amplified Bible)

13:37 Peter said to Him, Lord, why cannot I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You.

6. 144,000 following the Lamb

Revelation 14:4 (Amplified Bible)

14:4 These are they who have not defiled themselves by relations with women, for they are [pure as] virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These are they who have been ransomed (purchased, redeemed) from among men as the firstfruits for God and the Lamb.

B. Yours is mine

1. Where you go I will go

2. Where you lodge I will lodge

3. Your people will be my people

4. Your GOD my GOD

"for where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. our people shall be my people and your God my God"

Ruth displayed exceptional faithfulness to her mother-in-law although she's a Gentile and not a Jew. She even surpassed the faithfulness of Orpah.

1 Thessalonians 1:9 (Amplified Bible)

1:9 For they themselves volunteer testimony concerning us, telling what an entrance we had among you, and how you turned to God from [your] idols to serve a God Who is alive and true and genuine,

Nowadays, people cling to their idols and religion, they usually say, I was born a Catholic, I die as a Catholic. It's too hard for them to deny their religion and idolatry but Ruth did the very opposite.

2 Corinthians 6:16-18 (Amplified Bible)

6:16 What agreement [can there be between] a temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in and with and among them and will walk in and with and among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

6:17 So, come out from among [unbelievers], and separate (sever) yourselves from them, says the Lord, and touch not [any] unclean thing; then I will receive you kindly and treat you with favor,

6:18 And I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

As believers there's no common denominator with us and those with the idolaters.

King Nebuchadnezzar did the same with his gods.

Daniel 4:37 (Amplified Bible)

4:37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, Whose works are all faithful and right and Whose ways are just. And those who walk in pride He is able to abase and humble.

Only JESUS can save not His mother.

Hosea 13:4 (Amplified Bible)

13:4 Yet I am the Lord your God from [the time you became a nation in] the land of Egypt, and you shall know or recognize no God but Me, for there is no Savior besides Me.

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You will not turn back in being with me, where You go I will go, where You live I will live, where Your people are I will be, and GOD, the FATHER is my GOD.
