What does the Bible say about Rahab?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes Rahab as a harlot who, by her faith, was saved from destruction in Jericho, illustrating God's sovereign grace.

In Hebrews 11:31, Rahab is highlighted for her faith, which led her to receive the Israelite spies and ultimately saved her from the fate of Jericho's destruction. Rather than being defined by her past as a harlot, she exemplifies God's sovereign grace, chosen not for her righteousness but because the Lord loved her. This demonstrates that no one, regardless of their past sins, is beyond the reach of God's redeeming mercy.
