Why Abraham’s Faith Mattered More Than Works

In Romans 4, Paul asks whether Abraham was declared righteous by his actions or by his faith. He recalls how Scripture credits Abraham’s belief in God as righteousness rather than his works. Paul explains that this blessing is not limited by the law or circumcision. Abraham received the promise through faith long before any sign or ritual, making him the father of all who believe. The passage highlights Abraham’s trust in God’s promise despite his and Sarah’s old age. His unwavering hope shows how faith brings life from death and secures the gift of righteousness for believers today.
