Romans Four

Romans 4

1 - 12 The Example of Abraham

Paul uses the Abraham story (Genesis 12 - 17) to prove that faith justifies. 11. "He received the circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. "

13 - 25 God's Promise Realized through Faith

Abraham and his decendents inherited the world because they kept the law. 24-25 "It will be reckoned to us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was handed over to death for our trespasses and was raised for our justification."
