How much faith did Rahab need to become a believer?
Rahab needed only a small, simple faith. Her confession was not much, but it was enough for her to become a Gentile believer. She believed what she had heard—that the Lord had given Israel the land and had dried up the Red Sea.
Les teaches that Rahab's confession of faith was not much, but it was enough for her to become a Gentile believer. She hid the spies and sent the king's men on a wild goose chase. Then on the roof she said she knew the Lord had given Israel the land, that terror had fallen on them, and that all the inhabitants fainted because of them. She said, 'For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea when you came out of Egypt.' Les points out that was forty years earlier, yet they had not forgotten. Her faith rested on what she had heard.
