To the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness

 Romans 4:1-25

What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Gen. 15:6; also in verse 22

Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.

“Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord will never count against them."

Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before! And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised.

It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

Because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.

The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.

Why?

Because of Abraham be called righteouness is before he been circumsized. And he circumsized as sign for whose transfressions are forgiven.

The law brings wrath, because the law let us knoe what are sins, and sins induse wrath of the Lord.

How?

Circumsision like the baptism today to symbolized we are transformed and remember we are belong to the Lord, like Jesus raised from the dead with a new life.
