Through Jesus we can use our faith to open or gain access to grace. With grace we can do anything.

When we believe we are justified. When we are justified we have peace with God.

Abraham believe not only for himself but for all of us. He was justified because he believed.

There are two things we must believe. We must believe the promises of God. We must believe that He has the power to do what He promised.

Abraham regarded the promise of God and his faith became strong. Our faith is built on the promises of God and not the facts.

Abraham had opposition to his hope. Yet he hoped and believed and became a father to many nations.

Faith and grace made the promise of being Abraham's seed open for all the receive.

Abraham received the promise to be the heir of the world by faith. If it was by the law if would make faith and the promise null and void.

Was Abraham righteous before circumcision? What good is circumcision? What is circumcision for a believer?

Blessings of God do not come from our works but from faith in God

God is not obligated to make us righteous by our works. Righteousness is a gift credited to our account when we believe.

What did Abram discover? That he was justified by faith. He received righteousness by faith.

Was the Law nullified by faith. No! It is established by faith.

Is God for the Jews or the Gentiles? He is one God for both the Jews and Gentiles. We both must operate in one faith to be justified.

We have no place for boasting. We operate with the principle of faith. Faith justifies those who believe.

God is just. He demands every sin to be paid for He is also the justifier of mankind.

Jesus was made a sacrifice for us. This sacrifice was made to appease the wrath of God. Jesus took the punishment of for all the sins of the world, past, present and future. As believers we will never experience the wrath of God!!

Everyone has been justified but only those who believe can receive the righteous gift of God. Jesus has redeemed all of us but it take faith to receive it.

Everyone has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. That is a fact. But as we look at this in context Paul is telling us that everyone can also be justified and receive the righteous gift of God.

The righteous gift of God comes by faith in Jesus Christ. It is available to all who believe.
