We’ve Come This Far By Faith -8

Let’s Review: • Chapter 1: The Universal Need For The Gospel • Chapter 2: The Jews Are As Guilty As The • Chapter 3: Christ Is The Propitiation For Sin

Chapter 4: Justified By Faith

Paul’s discussion of Abraham here is directed at those who felt that the in should become Jewish proselytes (or converts to Judaism) in order to really be Christians. This basically is teaching from the that says if one is not of the seed of Abraham, that person would need to be circumcised to become Jewish and acceptable.

Paul explains that the promise of God was given on the basis of Abraham’s FAITH while he was not yet circumcised. The heirs of Abraham are those who have that kind of faith rather than being those who are just circumcised. Abraham’s life if faith (not his circumcision) set him apart before God. This is why he received the promise of God.

sin brought sin to humanity (Adam) and one

man’s sacrifice and gift can cover the cost. Thank God for Jesus!
