Righteousness by
faith.
Abraham believed in
God - FIRST, before anything else. The works Abraham committed were all done
through faith. Abraham didn't work and expect that to count towards his
salvation. We cannot expect any of our works to ear us salvation.
Let's study more of this-- read the following verses, and we'll go more in-depth with them tomorrow by the will of God.
All in the love of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior!

Rom 4:10 How
was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in
circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Rom 4:11 And
he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith
which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them
that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed
unto them also:
Rom 4:12 And
the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but
who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had
being yet uncircumcised.
Rom 4:13 For
the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to
his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Rom 4:14 For
if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made
of none effect:
Rom 4:15
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no
transgression.
Rom 4:16
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise
might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to
that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Rom 4:17 (As
it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he
believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be
not as though they were.
Rom 4:18 Who
against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations,
according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
Rom 4:19 And
being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was
about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:
Rom 4:20 He
staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith,
giving glory to God;
Rom 4:21 And
being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to
perform.
Rom 4:22 And
therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Rom 4:23 Now
it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
Rom 4:24 But
for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up
Jesus our Lord from the dead;
Rom 4:25 Who
was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our
justification.
