Komitmen, Iman, dan Kasih Setia di Tengah Kepahitan Analisis Deklarasi Kitab Rut 1:16-17
Keywords:
Ruth 1:16–17, commitment, covenantal love, faith.
Abstract
This study analyzes Ruth 1:16–17 using a biblical exegetical approach combined with theological analysis to uncover the meaning of Ruth’s declaration within the context of devastation and alienation. The findings reveal that Ruth’s statement is not merely an emotional expression, but an act of faith that reflects the integration of total commitment, the reception of divine grace, and the practice of covenantal love (hesed). Within the context of suffering, this declaration becomes the starting point of divine providence working quietly yet progressively. The study affirms that hesed is not only an attribute of God but also a relational paradigm embodied in human life. Furthermore, the narrative highlights theological inclusivity, where faith transcends ethnic and social boundaries. Thus, Ruth’s declaration serves as a transformative model of spirituality relevant to contemporary faith.References
