How do we know that Rahab's faith was true and not just superstition?

Answered in 1 source

Rahab's faith was evidenced by her actions in protecting God's messengers, proving it was genuine and not merely a belief in magic.

Rahab's faith was demonstrated through her actions, which aligned with her belief in God's promise. In James 2:25, she is mentioned alongside Abraham as an example of faith that works. Rahab did not merely profess her belief; she actively protected the spies at great personal risk, showcasing her commitment to God's Word. Her faith was not a vague hope or superstition; it was a profound trust in God's revelation and assurance of salvation for her family, as detailed in Joshua 2:12-21. This interplay between faith and works illustrates that true faith is always accompanied by action, validating its authenticity.
