How does Rahab illustrate God's election?

Answered in 1 source

Rahab's story exemplifies God's sovereign election, showing that He chooses sinners to display His mercy.

Rahab is a prime example of divine election, illustrating how God chooses unlikely individuals to manifest His grace. Her faith, a gift from God, led her to act upon the truth she received about His salvation (Joshua 2:9). This act of faith was not the cause of her election but a fruit of it, showing God's sovereign purpose in saving a sinner like her. Ultimately, it affirms the teaching that salvation is not based on human merit but is a result of God's merciful choice of the undeserving.
