Faith and Courage: The Story of Rahab and Redemption

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 21-day Bible study journey where we will dive deep into the story of Rahab, a remarkable woman whose faith and courage set her apart in a moment of great crisis. Rahab’s story is found in the book of Joshua, chapters 2 and 6, and offers powerful lessons about trust, redemption, and God's grace extending beyond the expected boundaries.

Rahab was a city outsider, a woman living in Jericho, a city under divine judgment. Yet, by faith, she made a courageous choice that not only saved her life but also secured a place for her and her family in God's unfolding plan of salvation.

In this study, we will explore the significance of the scarlet cord—a simple yet profound symbol of protection and deliverance—and how it illustrates God's mercy in the midst of judgment. We will examine Rahab's bold actions, her faith in the God of Israel even though she was a Canaanite, and how her story is connected to the lineage of Jesus Christ, the ultimate Redeemer.

As we journey together, expect to be challenged, encouraged, and inspired. This study is not just about an ancient story; it’s about how God uses faith and courage today to bring redemption into our lives and communities. Whether you are a long-time believer or just beginning to explore faith, Rahab's story holds timeless truths about grace and transformation. So grab your Bible, a notebook, and an open heart—let’s discover together how faith with action changes everything!
