In the context of <a href="/luke/7.htm">Luke 7</a>, this woman is identified as a sinner, likely a prostitute, who anointed Jesus' feet with perfume. Jesus' willingness to speak to her directly breaks social norms of the time, where a rabbi would typically avoid interaction with a woman of her reputation. This reflects Jesus' mission to seek and save the lost, as seen in <a href="/luke/19-10.htm">Luke 19:10</a>.<p><b>Your faith has saved you</b><br>Here, Jesus attributes the woman's salvation to her faith, not her actions or status. This aligns with the broader biblical teaching that faith, rather than works, is the means of salvation (<a href="/ephesians/2-8.htm">Ephesians 2:8-9</a>). The woman's faith is demonstrated through her actions of love and repentance, paralleling the faith of Abraham, who believed God and was counted as righteous (<a href="/genesis/15-6.htm">Genesis 15:6</a>). This statement underscores the transformative power of faith in Christ, a central theme in the New Testament.<p><b>go in peace</b><br>The phrase "go in peace" is a common Jewish farewell, but here it carries a deeper spiritual significance. It signifies the woman's restored relationship with God and the inner peace that comes from forgiveness and salvation. This peace is a fulfillment of the messianic prophecy in <a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6</a>, where the Messiah is called the "Prince of Peace." Jesus' declaration of peace is not just a dismissal but an assurance of her new standing before God, echoing the peace that surpasses all understanding mentioned in <a href="/philippians/4-7.htm">Philippians 4:7</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a></b><br>The central figure of the New Testament, the Son of God, who offers forgiveness and salvation.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_woman.htm">The Woman</a></b><br>A sinful woman who anointed Jesus' feet with perfume, demonstrating her repentance and faith.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/s/simon_the_pharisee.htm">Simon the Pharisee</a></b><br>The host of the dinner where this event takes place, who questions Jesus' acceptance of the woman's actions.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_dinner.htm">The Dinner</a></b><br>A gathering at Simon the Pharisee's house where Jesus is teaching and interacting with guests.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_act_of_anointing.htm">The Act of Anointing</a></b><br>The woman anoints Jesus' feet, an act of humility and worship, signifying her repentance and faith.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/f/faith_as_the_means_of_salvation.htm">Faith as the Means of Salvation</a></b><br>Salvation is a gift from God, received through faith.

Those who go deeper than controversy will find in them the further lesson that love pre-supposes faith. We cannot love any one--not even God--unless we first trust Him as being worthy of our love. She trusted that the Prophet of Nazareth would not scorn or reject her, and therefore she loved Him, and showed her love in acts, and, in loving Him, she loved, consciously or unconsciously, the Father that had sent Him.<p><span class= "bld">Go</span> <span class= "bld">in peace.</span>--The Greek form is somewhat more expressive than the English.
