The Faith of Rahab

All the Lord provides for us is obtained through faith (Hebrews 11:1), including our spiritual inheritance in Christ. In the book of Joshua, chapter 2 is the story of Rahab, a prostitute, who is mentioned in the Hall of Faith (Hebrews 11:31) and the genealogy of Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:5-6). Rahab’s story poses questions: By faith, whom do we align ourselves with? Do we seek the world’s acceptance? Do we align with popular cultural narratives? Every believer will reach a point where they must decide between choosing the Lord or following the crowd.
