Romans 4 outlined

4:1-25 Abraham, a model for the Christian Believer

A closer look at Romans 44:1-25 Abraham, a model for the Christian Believer

Abrahams was Justified by FaithTo show that the justification of all human

Abraham is used as an example: he was reckoned upright because of his faith not because of his circumcision, not in dependence on the law, but in virtue of a promise . As a result, he is our faith; his faith the “type” of Christian Faith
