Introduction
I. To Show the Wages of Sin & Our Need for a Redeemer
A. The Danger of forfeiting the blessing (Ruth 1:1-2)
Which road will each of us choose? Very often in those defining moments in life where we get to direct our own course for the future, the factors that weigh most heavily in our decisions are those that seem most likely to provide us with comfort and security. The bottom line in our lives is rarely God's will, as it is revealed in his Word, especially if it seems to cut directly across our best prospects for happiness and success … The roads we choose for ourselves often make our deepest heart commitments plain for all to see.—Iain Duguid
