       If we really believe what God has told us, then we will what? We will show that by what comes afterwards, by how we help people and tell others about what has happened to us. I think this mention here of Rahab provides us with a good test as to any self-righteousness we may be harboring. I mean, if when you read this verse from the book of James, does it bother you? Do you wonder how James could have referenced a prostitute as being righteous? Or do you feel better about yourself when you read this verse? Again, as I’ve been saying all along, it is our self-righteousness that we need to look out for. If it bothers us at all that James has referenced Rahab here then there is a problem within us. It is the feeling that we are superior to others. Even if you’ve never done anything seriously wrong, that doesn’t mean you are inherently more valuable than a lot of people. Like I said last week, the cost to make us all righteous is the same for everyone.
