Introduction: “there will be surprises in heaven.”
Text: Heb 11:31 By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.
I – True faith does not come through man-made steps II - God does not require much to infuse true faith. III - Rahab's faith had little light but it was true faith.
Notice the FUNDAMENTALS OF RAHAB'S FAITH
IV – Rahab's faith spared her and her extended family V - The picture of Christ: a scarlet chord VI - Miscellaneous digression into apologetic subjects
a) Why the utter destruction of Jericho? Gn 15:14-16 comp Lv 18 & Isa 26:21
b) What about Rahab's lie?
Now, why doesn't the Bible speak against her lie?
CONCLUSION:
Faith is accessible to sinners God's mercy is much greater and wider than what we can fathom God chooses only the Rahabs of this world… Rahab appears in the genealogy of the friend of sinners! Mt.1:5
