How does Rahab's story illustrate God's sovereignty in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Rahab's story showcases God's sovereignty in choosing whom He saves, demonstrating His grace towards those considered unworthy.

The account of Rahab serves as a vivid testimony to God's sovereign grace in the act of salvation. Despite her identity as a harlot, God chose to reveal Himself to Rahab, affirming that 'not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called' (1 Corinthians 1:26). This underlines the nature of God's grace; He actively seeks out those marginalized and deemed unworthy by human standards. Rahab’s inclusion in Christ’s genealogy in Matthew 1 further emphasizes God’s sovereign choice to include the chief of sinners in His redemptive plan, showcasing that His mercy extends beyond societal norms and expectations.
