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

5 But to him who adoes not work but believes on Him who justifies bthe ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,  
6 just as David also adescribes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works: 
7 “Blesseda are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered; 
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”

Romans 4:3

Abraham believed God - That promise of God concerning the numerousness of his seed, Genesis 15:5, Genesis 15:7; but especially the promise concerning Christ, Genesis 12:3, through whom all nations should be blessed. And it was imputed to him for righteousness - God accepted him as if he had been altogether righteous. Genesis 15:6.
