How Goes It?

We come home from school and our parents want to know how the day went, we apply for a job and our spouse wants to know, what were the results. A wife returns from a visit to the doctor and her husband wants to know, what is the news. We all want to know what is going on when we expect "news".

Naomi was no different. She had instructed Ruth how to present herself so that Boaz would understand her willingness to be redeemed. Ruth obeyed and has returned... so Naomi wanted to know.

Ruth 3:16-18 16 When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, " How did it go, my daughter?" And she told her all that the man had done for her. 17 She said, "These six measures of barley he gave to me, for he said, 'Do not go to your mother-in-law empty-handed.'" 18 Then she said, "Wait, my daughter, until you know how the matter turns out; for the man will not rest until he has settled it today."NASU

Naomi heard good news in Ruth's report.

John wrote in 1 John 5 11-13 with that same thought in mind. God knew we would want to know if we truly had eternal life secured. Look at what is written.

1 John 5:11-13 11 And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life. ESV
