  • Abraham Justified By Faith

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Mar 25, 2024
     | 560 views

    Paul proves through Scripture that Abraham was not justified by works.

    4:1 “What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?” Let’s look at this verse, as all the others, one word at a time. “Then” is “therefore” in this text. Based on all Paul has told us about sin, righteousness, judgment – by the way, the three things Jesus said ...read more

    Abraham was not justified by works... nor by the law.

    ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD. Romans 4:1-5; Romans 4:13-17. Righteousness is not something which we can accomplish, but rather comes as a gift from God through faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 3:21-22; Romans 3:26). The Apostle Paul illustrates this by precedent: “Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned ...read more

  • Abraham Justified Before Circumcision Series

     | 382 views

    Paul wants his people to know that salvation is not dependent on any work.

    4:9 “Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised?” Is God’s blessedness, or happiness, which David just described, for only Jews, or can Gentiles get in on this? He doesn’t use those two terms though. He is making a point. Is a man made right and happy ...read more

    In this sermon we see that Abraham was not justified by circumcision or by the law; rather, he was justified by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

    Scripture Let’s read Romans 4:9-17: 9 Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised?

  • Abraham's Obedient Faith

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 17, 2023
     | 906 views

    Is there a difference between works of the law and works of faith? Many Christians confuse the two as one, but they are not. Let's let the Bible answer the question.

    A false equivalence is bad logic. It occurs when we believe that the same word in different contexts means the same thing. This happens in Christian discussions of the word works. We solve the confusion by asking what kind of “works” is being discussed. Is it works of the law or works of obedient ...read more

    The exposition of Romans 4:1-3 examines Abraham's justification by faith. Paul supports his position that Abraham was justified by faith (not works) using Genesis 15:6 as his text.

    James’ teaching on Faith seem to contradict what Paul teaches about Faith. I want to answer this question as we our study of James brings us to James’ familiar statement in chapter 2. “Faith without works is dead.” Is James contradicting what Paul writes in Romans, ...read more
