Rahab had a choice!

Joshua 2:1-14

Rahab is forced to make an incredible choice. This day was unexpected and not a day that Rahab had time to prepare for. God showed up through the spies and she had to make a choice. She recognized God coming into her life and who he was and what his presence means. She recognized God through fear initially. If Rahab did not take this chance her life would have been over.

Joshua 2:15-16

Rahab's choice was her people or Gods people. Think how hard it would have been to chose God ahead of her own people. What about you, when you are called to chose and it conflicts with your people, your professional desires, your relationships, your finances?

Rahab chooses quickly! She chose and never looked back! How do you view your old life? Are you looking back or are you standing firm!

Rahab knew what her old life was like! She did not chose God and the. Romanticize her old life. She rejected her sinful life and never looked back!

Rahab is saved!! Rahab had a choice, chose God and was saved!

Joshua 2:19-21

How was Rahab saved? It wasn't her choice, it wasn't her deal making ability, it was not her loyalty...etc! Rahab was saved through obedience! It came down to doing what God has asked of her!

Matthew 21:28-31 obedience is key

Hebrews 11:31
