Joshua is a book of conquests and God using Israel to judge a wicked people and in chapter two we find out part of which was the Amorites and one of them was named Rahab and she was certainly deserving of judgment as she was a harlot but God is interested in the conquest of mercy over wrath. This is the first story in the book of Joshua as they are coming into the land where there are more enemies and obstacles then there is in the wilderness, but this story is not of destroying the enemy but rather one transforming the enemy.
Paul wrote to his young friend Timothy in 1 Tim. 1:15 saying, “This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.” Oh how thankful I am daily that my Jesus came into this world to save me the chief of sinners. Do you know that God can’t save “good people” how fortunate for us all that according to Romans 3:10-12 that “There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.” Simply put we all qualify to be objects of His abounding grace.
