Hebrews 11:31
_ _ Rahab showed her “faith” in her confession, Joshua 2:9, Joshua 2:11, “I know that Jehovah hath given you the land; Jehovah your God, is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.”
_ _ the harlot — Her former life adds to the marvel of her repentance, faith, and preservation (Matthew 21:31, Matthew 21:32).
_ _ believed not — Greek, “were disobedient,” namely, to the will of God manifested by the miracles wrought in behalf of Israel (Joshua 2:8-11).
_ _ received — in her house (Joshua 2:1, Joshua 2:4, Joshua 2:6).
_ _ with peace — peaceably; so that they had nothing to fear in her house. Thus Paul, quoting the same examples (Hebrews 11:17, Hebrews 11:31) for the power of faith, as James (James 2:21, James 2:25; see on James 2:21; see on James 2:25) does for justification by works evidentially, shows that in maintaining justification by faith alone, he means not a dead faith, but “faith which worketh by love” (Galatians 5:6). |
