How do we understand God's sovereignty in Rahab's story?

Answered in 1 source

Rahab’s mention in the lineage of Christ reveals God's sovereign selection of whom He saves.

The mention of Rahab in the genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1:5) reveals the depths of God's sovereignty in salvation. Her inclusion exemplifies God's grace in choosing whom He wills and underscores the doctrine of election. This clearly shows that God's salvific plan encompasses people from all backgrounds and walks of life. It not only reflects His sovereign choice but also highlights that His plans are not restricted by human standards of righteousness. Through Rahab's faith, we learn that God’s purposes prevail, and He can redeem those deemed unworthy, fulfilling the promise of salvation through Christ. It beautifully affirms that salvation is a gift of grace for those who believe.
