Rahab's story exemplifies God's unmerited grace, demonstrating that He chooses and saves those society overlooks.
Rahab's narrative is a striking illustration of God's grace, showing how He elects and redeems individuals regardless of their background or past sins. The sermon explains that God specifically sent the spies to Rahab, indicating His sovereign choice in selecting her for salvation. This act of grace underscores the principle that God saves 'the lost'—those viewed as outcasts, like Rahab, a Gentile harlot. In her faith, expressed through her covenant with the spies and obedience to hang the scarlet line, we see a tangible display of this grace. Moreover, her subsequent inclusion in the lineage of Christ emphasizes how God's grace not only redeems but also transforms, allowing sinners to be part of His redemptive story.
