Verse 31
Even though Rahab was a Gentile sinner (i.e., a secular prostitute), God spared her when he destroyed all those around her. Likewise God will preserve the faithful, not because they are personally worthy, but because of their faith in Him.
"Although a foreigner to the covenant people, she manifested a faith that was oriented toward the future and that found specific content in the acts of the God of Israel (Joshua 2:11). She was prepared to assume present peril for the sake of future preservation (Joshua 2:12-16)." [Note: Ibid., p. 379.]
