Risking Everything for the Salvation of God - Nancy Guthrie

Nancy Guthrie teaches on the faith of Rahab and the encouragement it provides for us to risk everything for God.
There's a thread of protection from God’s judgment throughout the Old Testament for those who believe his promises are true. In the book of Joshua, Rahab-a prostitute and outsider-understands the most foolish thing a person can do is set themselves against the living God, ignoring what he's promised. Instead of remaining faithful to the people in her context, Rahab risks everything to join the people of God. Rahab is welcomed because of her faith and is ultimately saved from destruction. This teaches us salvation comes to those who risk everything on the Word of God being true, and salvation comes to those who rest completely in the mercy of God.
Guthrie concludes with an exhortation and says, “Do not presume upon the mercy of God; take hold of it. Risk everything on the promises of God being true and that they are for you, no matter who you are or what you’ve done.”

The pagan gods are imagined now? Did God Almighty not created the false gods and place them over the nations?
