The Truth About Grace, Faith & Abraham — Romans 4:13-25

B21L11 ✝️ Can faith alone really save you — with nothing added? Romans 4 digs into the heart of the gospel: Abraham was justified by faith plus nothing, and the same is true for you today. 📖 In this verse-by-verse study of Romans 4:13–25, the teaching walks through Paul's argument that Abraham's righteousness was never earned through the Law or circumcision — it was credited to him by faith. The lesson cross-references Romans 13:8–9 to show that grace is not a license to sin, and uses a vivid marriage illustration to contrast law and love. From there, the study examines Abraham's "against hope" faith at age 100, Israel's unbelief at Kadesh Barnea from Hebrews 3:16–18, and closes with the stunning promise of 2 Corinthians 5:21 — that God has imputed Christ's righteousness to every believer's account. 💡 Key Topics Covered: Romans 4:13–16 — Why the promise came through faith, not the Law Romans 4:15 — "The law worketh wrath" — what that really means Romans 13:8–9 — Grace is not license; love fulfills the Law Romans 4:17–19 — Abraham believed "against hope" at 100 years old Hebrews 3:16–18 — Israel's unbelief at Kadesh Barnea and its consequences Romans 4:20–22 — "Fully persuaded" — Abraham's unwavering faith Romans 4:24–25 — Imputed righteousness and the resurrection of Jesus 2 Corinthians 5:21 — Christ made sin for us; we made the righteousness of God 🔑 Romans 4 justification by faith, imputed righteousness Bible study, Abraham faith Romans, grace vs law explained, Hebrews 3 unbelief Kadesh Barnea, 2 Corinthians 5:21 righteousness of God, Romans 4:24 resurrection justification, faith alone salvation Bible.
