Faith Is Counted For Righteousness

                                           Romans 4: 3
                      "For what saith the Scripture?  Abraham
                            believed God, and it was counted
                                unto him for righteousness"

        To meet the views of the Jews, Apostle Paul referenced  it to the example of Abraham; in whom the Jews gloried as their most renowned forefather.  However exalted in various respects by the Jews, at that point Abraham had nothing to boast about in the presence of God.  Even noticing the years before his call, and the failures at times in his obedience, and his faith, it was expressly stated in Scripture that he "believed God", and it was counted to him for righteousness.
        From this example we can see, that if any could work the full measure required by, law, the reward must be reckoned as a debt, which was not the case of Abraham,  "Seeing" faith was reckoned to him for Righteousness.
        When believers are justified by faith, our faith is being counted for righteousness.  Our faith does not justify as part, big or small of our righteous; but as the appointed means, uniting us, with Him who is called the Lord of our righteousness.  Abraham was the Spiritual forefather of all believers,who walk after the example of his obedient faith.  The Seal of the Holy Spirit in our sanctification, makes us new creatures, and is the inward evidence of the righteous of faith. Believe in the Gospel Of Jesus Christ, and through faith join the Family of God today!
        Amen!!
