Courageous Faith

Courageous Faith
Joshua sent spies to go scout out the land, specifically Jericho.
The spies wound up staying at the house of a prostitute named Rahab, whose house was built on the outer walls of Jericho.
Rahab had come to believe in the spies’ God (Joshua 2:11).
Knowing the Israelites would conquer the land, Rahab asked the spies to spare her life and the lives of her family, which they agreed to do because she had helped them hide.
For her courageous faith, this woman with a bad reputation is listed among the faithful in Hebrews (Heb. 11:31).
She eventually married a man named Salmon and had a son named Boaz. Boaz was David’s great-grandfather.
Because of her courageous faith, Rahab is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus.
If you have a past you’re not proud of, or even if you’re struggling spiritually today, don’t despair. God’s grace is sufficient to transform a prostitute into a faithful servant.
All that’s required is faith—courageous faith in Christ Jesus.
In Christ,
Jonathan
