Romans 4:2225

Therefore it was also credited to him as righteousness. 23 Now not for his sake only was it written that it was credited to him, 24 butfor our sake also, to whom it will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 He who wasdelivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.

Three Questions for Next Week

I had originally intended to preach one message on these four small verses, 22-25. But as I pondered them, especially in relation to communionSunday, and especially in view of coming to a kind of climax at the end of this chapter, I thought that we should spend two Sundays on this greattext. Here are the questions I want to raise, one today and three next Sunday.

1) Why is faith credited to Abraham and to us as righteousness? What is the meaning of "therefore" at the beginning of verse 22: "Therefore, it[faith] was also credited to him [Abraham] as righteousness."

2) What sort of faith is credited to Abraham and to us as righteousness? Was it the first act of faith when God first spoke to Abraham and told himto leave Ur of the Chaldees, or the faith of Genesis 15:6 when God promised to make Abraham's descendants like the stars, or the faith of Genesis17 when God promised him a son in the next year in spite of his age and Sarah's barrenness, or the faith of Genesis 22 when Abraham offered hisson Isaac? Are we justified in the very first twinkling of faith or by a lifetime of faith?

3) How is faith credited to Abraham and to us? Does crediting faith as righteousness mean that faith itself is the kind of righteousness we performand God counts that as good enough to merit justification - as if justification costs five million dollars and I can come up with one million dollars, soGod mercifully says he will count my one million as five million and cancel the rest? Or is justification really the imputation to me of God's ownrighteousness in Christ, and if so, what does it mean to say that faith is credited as righteousness?

All that next week.

this and God will credit your faith as righteousness. You will be safe with him. You will have a righteousness not of your own and an unshakable,everlasting rock to stand on.
