How do we know God's judgment is just based on Rahab's story?

Answered in 1 source

Rahab believed that God's judgment was just, as she recognized the sins of her city and sought mercy.

Rahab's understanding of God's judgment reflects a profound recognition of justice. As depicted in Joshua 2, she openly expresses the fear shared by her fellow Canaanites upon hearing about Israel's God. Unlike the other inhabitants of Jericho who opposed God's people, Rahab acknowledged the righteousness of God's decree to destroy the city due to its idol worship. Her readiness to align with the God of Israel and ask for mercy demonstrates an understanding that God's judgment stems from His holiness and justice. By choosing faith, she recognized her need for salvation amidst impending destruction, which reinforces the biblical principle that God's judgments are just and true.
