Saved by Faith.

Faith used means ordered of God, foolish to man. and wrought a great victory. Faithful obedience is here wonderfully contrasted with former usfaithfulness. Joshua directs the spies to search out Rahab and she and her household are saved accord ing to promise, w. 22-25. She also was saved by faith, Heb.s 11:31, and became one of the line from which Christ came, Matt. Is. The only part of the wall that remained stand ing was that where Rahab's house stood w. 22, see chapter 2:15.
 The teaching is very plain. As the fsraelites depended wholly upon God, were obedient to his orders accepted his discipline, held back all passion and covetousness, they entered into the fruits of victory that made easy many subsequent ones. Their acts of faith were a more severe test than those more visible and carnal means of fighting battles.
 AS these people of God had crossed the Jordan, submitted to the rite of circumcision, took their first march in this land of promise and captured this walled city which stood in the way of their progress. the unbelief of forty years was rebuked This was a day of vindication for Caleb and Joshua, day of proving that God was able to give victory to the people in whom he delighted.
