1. Abraham's Righteousness Apart from Works............... 4:1-8
Rom 4:1
What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?Rom 4:2
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.Rom 4:3
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.Rom 4:4
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.Rom 4:5
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.Rom 4:6
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,Rom 4:7
Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.Rom 4:8
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
