Rahab was a very high profile harlot, serving the high echelons of her society, thus was privy to all that was discussed, even in the chamber of their rulers and king of the land, and she was used to embolden the confidence of the 2 spies sent by Joshua on a reconnaissance mission to Jericho, by recounting to them, stories about their powerful God, and what He had done- on behalf of His people, from the way He brought them out of Egypt, to even to mighty kings of renown. Joshua 2.
She had faith in this God which she had never met, and called Him "the Lord " and had believed that she and her house could be saved by Him. She used this as a bargaining chip as she hid them from those looking to arrest them.
She actually prophesied vs 9, which demonstrated her trust in and allegiance to their God! Hebrews 11:1, she judged Him Faithful and True to save her, her parents and her entire household. This meant that she wasn't really comfortable in her line of work and must have somehow cried out to the unknown God, who never cast anyone away who calls on His name Romans 10; Jeremiah 33:33; Isaiah 65:24; Hebrews 11.
She used the collective pronoun "we, our", which showed her love and care for herself and others. She was bold enough, because she believed, to get the men to swear to her. She trusted in their God, but she needed confirmation from them, as men. She got her wishes fulfilled Joshua chapters 4-6.
Mary Magdalene, on her part, also had heard about Jesus Christ. I believe that she had been following Him secretly right from the beginning enough to understand what even the desciples couldn't Luke 17:34; by preparing the alabaster box of a very expensive ointment, broke and poured it on His head, weeping as she stood at His feet, behind Him, as one who was desperate for help but felt she wasn't worthy enough. Luke 7. But her faith emboldened her to behave like she did, not caring what people would say, especially the holier-than-thou pharisees. She had FAITH enough to believe that she, the societal pariah, wouldn't be rejected or cast away by the Messiah. She only believed, and she got the end of her faith- just like the Canaanite woman Matthew 15; who was even likened to a "dog"; the Roman Centurion- a gentile and enemy of the Jews Matthew 8; the Samaritan woman who was not just a simple idolater, but had tried all the 5 religions of her Assyrian nation, and was now seeking the God of the Jews, until she met the Messiah! 2 Kings 17; John 4. Her faith in this God made her identify even with their ancestral father- Jacob, "OUR father, Jacob's well".
God is no respecter of persons, Acts 10:34.
Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
No one can have any opinions about the Lord and His love for them untill they reach out to Him by grace, through faith in the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who will keep them by His Holy Spirit, until He returns as promised, to take them up and present them faultless before the presence of God the Father .
God will be Righteous and Just when He judges. No one will have any excuses on that day! He honors them that honor Him! You look in a mirror, and see only the side you present.
He is coming soon! Simply believe and trust Him till the end Matthew 24:13.
