Scripture Context
Romans 3:26 - Romans 4:4
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness; that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay; but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith alone without the deeds of the law.
29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also;
30 Seeing that God will justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid; yea, we establish the law.
Romans 4
Intro: Abraham's faith -- Abraham is the father of all that believe -- The righteousness of faith.
1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 For if Abraham were justified by the law of works, he hath to glory in himself; but not of God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4 Now to him who is justified by the law of works, is the reward reckoned, not of grace, but of debt.
