Salvation Shown In Rahab

The sermon presents the story of Rahab, in Joshua 2, as a powerful illustration of salvation by grace through faith. It contrasts Rahab's faith—born out of fear, conviction, and a desperate plea for mercy—with the unbelief and self-reliance of Jericho's inhabitants, who, despite knowing God's mighty works, refused to surrender and perished. The message underscores that salvation is not earned by works or self-effort, but received through obedient faith, as Rahab demonstrated by hanging the scarlet cord. The preacher calls lost listeners to repent and seek the Lord now, before judgment comes. Ultimately, the sermon affirms that God desires to save sinners, but only those who repent and believe.
