Romans 4: 25 He(Jesus) was delivered over to Death for our sins and was Raised to
Life for our Justification. (7)
147
17 As
it is written: “I have made you(ABRAHAM) a father of many nations.” He is our
father in the sight of GOD, in whom he(ABRAHAM) believed—the GOD who gives Life
to the Dead and calls into being things that were not. (8)
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.
147
8 Blessed
is the one whose sin the Lord will never count against them.” (8)
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!
147
23 The
words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, (5)
24 but also for us,
to whom GOD will credit Righteousness—for us who believe in Him(GOD the Faher) who Raised Jesus our Lord from the
Dead.

14 For if those who
depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless,
15 because the 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 have the Faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
369
5 However,
to the one who does not work but trusts GOD who justifies the ungodly, their Faith is
Credited as Righteousness. (5)
6 David says the same
thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom GOD Credits Righteousness apart from works:
7 “Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
147
20 Yet
he did not waver through unbelief regarding the Promise of GOD, but was
strengthened in his faith and gave glory to GOD, (2)
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.”
147
11 And
he received circumcision as a sign, 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. (2)
12 And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only
are circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our
father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
13 It was not through
the 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.

Abraham Justified
by Faith
1 What then shall we
say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this
matter?
2 If,
in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but
not before GOD.
(2)
3 What does Scripture
say? “Abraham believed GOD, and it was Credited to him as Righteousness.”
4 Now to the one who works, wages are not Credited as a gift but as an Obligation.
