Rahab - a woman of my study topic

Rehab - a wonderful woman in Bible whose job was a dishonour herself or her family in worldly eyes!  Surprisingly she is mentioned again and again in Old Testaments & New Testaments.  It must be something valuable in the eyes of God that would be chosen to inspire and impact me and women.  What really counts in God's perspective rather than a career?

Firstly a full story in Joshua 2 about her conviction and then her action.   Later in Joshua 6:22-24 depicts how God saves her and her family and rewards them.  And further mentioned in Hebrews 11:31  By an act of faith, Rahab, the Jericho harlot, welcomed the spies and escaped the destruction that came on those who refused to trust God.

Her faith in action not only saves her and her family; but also her wonderful and beautiful future are unfolded to her.  She moved into the camps near the Israelite and then married to Salmon and gave birth to Boaz.   Boaz later became David's grandfather... this is also the genealogy of Jesus.

God looks at people's hearts not their appearance nor status nor career!

Boaz was a man's role model: backbone to shoulder up the responsibility and caring the weak!  He is was he is may be attributed to his awesome and wise mom: Rahab.  the mother-in-law of another wonderful Bible woman-Ruth. 

 時候將到，如今就是了，那真正拜父的，要用心靈和誠實拜他，因為父要這樣的人拜他。    約翰福音  4:23
