In this story you will see an amazing chronicle of God's mercy, love and even His plan for your salvation.
Rahab was about to be saved through listening to God's world, trusting what God was saying to her through those witnesses and then simply acting upon her faith by placing a scarlet cord in her window.
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
5 Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse,
6 and Jesse begot David the king. David the king begot Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah.
And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.
That scarlet cord, that blood line from the Tabernacle, was pointing to a price to be paid on a hill outside Jerusalem by the Savior.
Did you know that the blood atonement and the idea of a blood sacrifice is mentioned in the Bible more than 1,300 times?
19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.”
21 Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
