Romans 4 · Grade 3
Counted as Righteous
Read the Story
Paul asks, what does the Scripture say about Abraham? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." Abraham did not earn it. He trusted God.
David also wrote about the joy of being forgiven. Paul says, "Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin."
God counted Abraham right before Abraham kept any special rule. So Abraham is the father of all who believe. God's promise comes by faith, so it can rest on grace.
Abraham was about a hundred years old. Still he did not doubt God's promise. He grew strong in faith and gave glory to God. This was written for us too. God counts us right when we believe in him who raised Jesus from the dead.
