Romans 4

• Justified by Faith
• 1/15

26
Romans 41-5

• 1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our
  forefather, discovered in this matter?
• 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he
  had something to boast about but not before God.
  
• 3 What does the Scripture say? Abraham believed
  God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
  
• 4 Now when a man works, his wages are not
  credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation.
• 5 However, to the man who does not work but
  trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is
  credited as righteousness.
  2/15

27
Abraham man of faith

• Abraham believed God,
• and it was credited it to him
• as righteousness 43
•   - righteousness given not earned
• 3/15

28
Romans 46-8

• 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the
  blessedness of the man to whom God credits
  righteousness apart from works
• 7 Blessed are they whose transgressions are
  forgiven, whose sins are covered.
• 8 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will
  never count against him.
• 4/15

29
Abraham man of faith

• - sins forgiven not counted 46-8
• at one ment
• Just as if Id never sinned
• 5/15

30
Romans 49-11

• 9 Is this blessedness only for the circumcised,
  or also for the uncircumcised? We have been
  saying that Abraham's faith was credited to him
  as righteousness.
• 10 Under what circumstances was it credited? Was
  it after he was circumcised, or before? It was
  not after, but before!
• 11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a
  seal of the righteousness that he had by faith
  while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is
  the father of all who believe but have not been
  circumcised, in order that righteousness might be
  credited to them.
  6/15

31
Abraham man of faith

• Explanation of Circumcision
• a seal of the righteousness
• Abraham had by faith 411
• 7/15

32
Romans 411-13

• 11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a
  seal of the righteousness that he had by faith
  while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is
  the father of all who believe but have not been
  circumcised, in order that righteousness might be
  credited to them.
• 12 And he is also the father of the circumcised
  who not only are circumcised but who also walk in
  the footsteps of the faith that our father
  Abraham had before he was circumcised.
• 13 It was not through law that Abraham and his
  offspring received the promise that he would be
  heir of the world, but through the righteousness
  that comes by faith. 8/15

33
Romans 414-16

• 14 For if those who live by law are heirs, faith
  has no value and the promise is worthless, 15
  because law brings wrath. And where there is no
  law there is no transgression.
• 16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that
  it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all
  Abraham's offspring not only to those who are of
  the law but also to those who are of the faith of
  Abraham. He is the father of us all.
• 9/15

34
Abraham father of faith

• Father of the circumcisedwho also walk in
  the footsteps of the faith that our father
  Abraham had 412
• Father of all who believe but have not been
  circumcisedwho are of the faith of Abraham
  411, 16
• 10/15

35
Romans 417-19

• 17 As it is written I have made you a father of
  many nations. He is our father in the sight of
  God, in whom he believed the God who gives life
  to the dead and calls things that are not as
  though they were.
• 18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and
  so became the father of many nations, just as it
  had been said to him, So shall your offspring be.
  
• 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the
  fact that his body was as good as dead since he
  was about a hundred years old and that Sarah's
  womb was also dead. 11/15

36
Romans 420-25

• 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief
  regarding the promise of God, but was
  strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
  21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do
  what he had promised.
• 22 This is why it was credited to him as
  righteousness.
• 23 The words it was credited to him were written
  not for him alone, 24 but also for us, to whom
  God will credit righteousness for us who believe
  in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
• 25 He was delivered over to death for our sins
  and was raised to life for our justification.
