What does the Bible say about Rahab's faith?

Answered in 16 sources

The Bible describes Rahab as a model of faith, showing her belief in the God of Israel and seeking mercy for herself and her family.

Rahab is highlighted in Scripture as a woman of faith. In Joshua 2, she acknowledges the sovereignty of the Lord, stating that He had given the land to Israel and that her people were terrified because of them. Rahab not only recognized the God of Israel as the true God but also acted on that belief by hiding the spies and pledging her faith, asking for mercy for herself and her family (Joshua 2:9-13). Her faith is later commended in Hebrews 11:31, where it is stated that by faith, she did not perish with those who disobeyed. This indicates that her faith led to salvation, illustrating the grace of God that draws sinners to Himself.
