James 2:25 — Rahab the prostitute also 'justified by works' in the same sense as Abraham — demonstrating real faith through action

Rahab is cited as a second example of justification by works. Since James says she was justified 'in the same way' as Abraham, whatever kind of justification Abraham received (Mike argues: vindication/demonstration of real faith), Rahab received the same. She hid the messengers and sent them out another way — an action that demonstrated her real faith in the God of Israel.
