Abraham and Rahab

by Alistair Begg

James 2:21–26
 (ID: 2579)

How do we know that Abraham and Rahab were counted righteous by only believing God? Their faith was validated by what they did and sacrificed. Whether we come from a background of prominence or disgrace, one thing is certain: true faith produces trusting and often costly obedience. Alistair Begg explains that once we have been justified by faith alone, it is only reasonable that we would consecrate our lives to the service of God and others.
