Abraham Justified by Faith

1 What then shall we say that aAbraham our bfather has found according to the flesh?  
2 For if Abraham was ajustified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.  
3 For what does the Scripture say? a“Abraham believed God, and it was1 accounted to him for righteousness.”  
4 Now ato him who works, the wages are not counted1 as grace but as debt.  

David Celebrates the Same Truth

Romans 4:3

Romans 4:3 For what saith the scripture? The passage quoted is found in Genesis 15:6, and is quoted three times in the New Testament—here, and in Galatians 3:6 and in James 2:23. God promised an heir to Abraham, and, although it seemed contrary to nature, he believed the promise. His faith in the promise was counted unto him for righteousness. It was the ground of his acceptance with God. His faith was a trusting faith, which contained in it the element of obedience. No other faith justifies.
