Text: God's reward is in obedience?

Ruth 2:7-15 KJV And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house. [8] Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens: [9] Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn. [10] Then she fell on her facgre, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger? [11] And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore. [12] The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust. [13] Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens. [14] And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left. [15] And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:
Luke 2:4-7 KJV And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) [5] To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. [6] And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. [7] And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
John 6:47-51 KJV Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. [48] I am that bread of life. [49] Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. [50] This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. [51] I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 33 I want to title this little talk this morning, as I teach it, trying to bring a faith to you, of redemption, and what it is, and how to receive it. I want to title it: The Kinsman Redeemer.

34 Now, to redeem anything, is to “bring it back.” Something that’s been lost, like put in a pawn shop. And you go down and redeem that, it’s redeemed by a price. Then it’s your personal property, after you have redeemed it. But the law of redemption, in Israel, had to be a kinsman, to redeem a property or something that had been lost. 60-1002 - The Kinsman Redeemer Rev. William Marrion Branham 42 Now, many, reading the Bible, read It, just stand up and read a page, and read a page. You’ll never get It. Because, It’s in riddles. And Jesus thanked God for making It like that. Said, “You’ve hid It from the eyes of the wise and prudent, and will reveal It to babes such as will learn.” 43 As I’ve often said. Mrs. Branham setting back there, this morning. But when I’m overseas, she’ll write me a letter. She’ll say, “Dear Bill, I’m setting here, tonight, with the children. I’m thinking of you.” And she go ahead and write what she’s going to. But I—I love her, and I know her so well, I can read between the lines. I know exactly what she’s saying, see, whether she writes it on here or not. See? Cause, I know what she’s saying. Why is that? That’s a close contact. We’re one. See? And she knows my nature, I know hers. She don’t… 44 She can just set and look at me. I can tell you what she’s going to say, see, because I—I know her that well. And she can do me the same way. Now, what does that, is confidence in one another. Love! 45 Yesterday morning, we were lying in bed a little late, and the children didn’t have to go to school, and we got to speaking about different things. And how…“What was hatred?” 46 I said, “Hatred had a beginning, so it has to have an end. Love had no beginning, so it has no end. Hatred is forever. Love is Eternal. Hatred begins and hatred will end. Love never did begin and It never will end.” See? It was Eternal. 60-1002 - The Kinsman Redeemer Rev. William Marrion Branham And on she went, and finally she came into the room and the place where Naomi was bringing her. And what did she find? Everybody patting her on the back and saying, “Ruth, we’re glad to have you down here”? She found discord. She found something evil. She found trouble. 92 And preachers that’ll tell you that, “The—the Christian life is a flowery bed of ease,” he either is deceiving you or he’s never accepted that experience himself. The world hates you. And the people will hate you. You’ve got to take the way of the Lord’s despised few, and be laughed at, made fun of, or anything else. You’ve got to be different. You’re born of another Nation. 60-1002 - The Kinsman Redeemer Rev. William Marrion Branham 50 Now, this story starts out something on that manner, as a lovable, sweet woman. Her name was Naomi. Naomi means “pleasant.” Elimelech was her husband, means “worship.” “Pleasant worship” was her family. They had a son, Mahlon, one that means “sickness.” And Chilion, the other, meant “weary, gloomy, sadness.” There was the family. 60-1002 - The Kinsman Redeemer Rev. William Marrion Branham
