Romans Chapter 4 verses 1 to 13
What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God. For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."
Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as debt. But to him who doesn't work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness. Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,
"Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, Whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin."
Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness. How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.
The father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision. For the promise to Abraham and to his seed that he should be heir of the world wasn't through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Those were verses 1 to 13 from Romans Chapter 4
Insight- Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them. Citing the examples of what is written in scripture of Abraham and about what we read in Psalm 32, a Psalm of David, the Apostle Paul says that God makes those who are unrighteous righteous when they believe in him and with faith accept his will for their lives. How wonderful.
Question- Do you believe that God makes those who are unrighteous righteous when they believe in him and with faith accept his will for their lives? Think about it.
Prayer- Dear Father in Heaven, help me to believe in your word that says that you make the unrighteous righteous when they believe in you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
