How do we know God's mercy is true through Rahab's story?

Answered in 1 source

Rahab's story exemplifies God's sovereign mercy, as He chooses to save her despite her background, demonstrating His grace to sinners.

The account of Rahab serves as a powerful testament to God's sovereign mercy and grace. God, in His infinite wisdom and sovereignty, chose Rahab, a harlot, and granted her faith to believe the spies’ message. This reinforces that mercy is not earned but is a gift from God to whom He wills. The scarlet thread in her window symbolizes the blood of Christ, through which she and her family would be saved, showcasing the enduring theme of redemption throughout Scripture. Her inclusion in the lineage of Christ further emphasizes that God's plan of salvation encompasses even those considered the least deserving.
