INTRODUCTION: The story of Rahab gives a wonderful type and illustration of salvation. Not only was she a Gentile and a woman, but she was also a despised harlot (a prostitute). The token of her deliverance was a scarlet thread; a beautiful picture of the blood of Jesus Christ. She was taken from these depths and raised to the greatest heights by being included in the lineage of Christ and recorded in the chapter of faith (Hebrews chapter 11). If God saved Rahab, He can certainly save the vilest of sinners today.
 Rahab—a picture of God’s saving grace • The story of Rahab starts out as a fallen woman working as a prostitute and ends with a redeemed bride in the family of the Messiah. • She was a sinner in the worst of professions. • She was under the same condemnation as all others. • She was given a period of grace. • She heard the evidence of other sinners being destroyed and feared. • She heard the report of God’s power and might. • She believed His word. • She knew in absolute faith that what God had promised, He was able to do. • She showed her faith by casting her lot in with God’s people and confessing Him. • She immediately sought to win her family. • She was saved from the judgment and wrath to come. • This woman who had been a fallen woman and a harlot ended up being a bride in the family of the Messiah (Matthew 1:5).
