Why is James talking about this prostitute of the OT in the NT? As we look at the life of Rahab we will find that she was the recipient of something scandalous, she more than feared God, and she risked everything for one reason.
And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
James 2:25-26
1. Rahab was a receiver of _scandalous grace_
2. Rahab _revered the Lord_
3. Rahab risked everything for the spread of _God’s glory_
