Rahab Faith In Action Creekside Bible Church This devotional reminds us of how the stories in the bible, especially that of rahab and the spies, reminds us that god doesn't only use perfect people. Rahab was living in faith when she recognized that she needed the forgiveness of god. she knew that she cannot continue living in sin. rahab did not just asked for forgiveness, but she showed her repentant attitude by turning away from the society, culture, and way of life she knew all her life.
Faith Creekside Bible Church Rahab and her family were delivered from god’s judgment on jericho. further, she married salmon and was the mother of boaz, placing her in the direct line of the davidic kingdom and, ultimately, jesus the messiah. as a result, rahab is listed in the “hall of fame of faith” in hebrews 11:31. When commanded by the rulers of the city to turn the men over, rahab concealed their identities and whereabouts—an act of faith in god. rahab had come to believe in the spies' god: "the l ord your god, he is god in heaven above and on earth beneath" (joshua 2:11). Rahab is a canaanite. hebrews 11:30 – 31. these two verses talk about an unusual event and an unusual person. in verse 30, the walls of jericho, a fortified city, fell because of faith. in verse 31, rahab, a woman of a disrepute, makes it to the list of the heroes of faith. Her faith was alive, producing works, while theirs was dead and did them no good. so rahab became an example of faith in action. we are saved by faith, not by works (eph. 2:8 9).

Third, although rahab and christians are saved by an act of grace through faith, true faith requires and is exemplified by action (james 2). rahab had to put the scarlet cord out of the window. christians must accept jesus christ as their savior and lord and then go on to live in a manner that verifies that our faith is real. Rahab, a pagan woman in a wicked city, recognized and believed in the sovereignty of god. she acted on that belief by hiding the spies and pleading for the safety of her family. her faith wasn’t just words—it was backed by courageous action.
