00:00 - 00:04
finally, here we look at Abraham on example of being
00:04 - 00:05
justified through face.
00:07 - 00:09
Here we see one of the most important parts of
00:09 - 00:11
the doctor and a justification for shattering Abraham.
00:12 - 00:15
Um, in the fact that she has counted as righteous
00:15 - 00:17
not on account of his works, but by account of
00:17 - 00:20
his face showing that the only requirement to be justified
00:20 - 00:23
and considered righteous is faith, even from the very beginning.
00:23 - 00:27
Um, sweet look at Genesis 15 6 in which Abraham
00:27 - 00:29
is placing his trust in God and his promises.
00:30 - 00:32
He's not relying on his own knowledge, but on the
00:33 - 00:35
knowledge of God's will.
00:35 - 00:39
Um um, So this is what is credit to him?
00:39 - 00:41
His righteousness is his faith.
00:42 - 00:44
I think it's important to note that this is well
00:44 - 00:48
before Abraham's pivotal act of faith in Genesis 22 off
00:49 - 00:50
to considered everyone's greatest act of faith.
00:51 - 00:52
Or he's about to sacrifice his own son.
00:53 - 00:53
S o.
00:54 - 00:56
He was justified well before that are considered righteous well
00:57 - 01:00
before that, well before his greatest act of face, showing
01:01 - 01:03
that justification is not brought about by action.
01:04 - 01:06
Otherwise, it would have been given to him at that
01:06 - 01:07
point if it was through action.
01:08 - 01:11
Um, so this is flushed down later by Paul and
01:11 - 01:14
Romans, Four of where it says that Abraham has no
01:15 - 01:16
reason to both, since he has done nothing.
01:17 - 01:21
Um, and he has simply been given righteousness on account
01:21 - 01:25
of his faith, not through any action so later.
01:25 - 01:29
And James James seems to make a contradictory point of
01:29 - 01:34
sorts. Um, saying that Abraham was considered righteous by the
01:34 - 01:37
act of offering his son Isaac as a sacrifice.
01:38 - 01:42
Um, so we as mt points out in his commentary,
01:43 - 01:48
um, it's clear here that Abraham did not earn his
01:48 - 01:49
righteousness by the act.
01:50 - 01:53
But James is just saying that this proved his righteousness.
01:54 - 01:58
Eso the act of offering his son do not give
01:58 - 02:01
him justification, but it proved that he was justified.
02:01 - 02:06
Which is why he says, um, that he was considered
02:07 - 02:11
righteous. Um, so God has not changed his criteria For
02:11 - 02:14
those who receive salvation from the old coming into the
02:14 - 02:17
new Abraham shows that God has always justified people based
02:17 - 02:18
on their faith.
02:18 - 02:22
Even if that does not come into full view until
02:22 - 02:25
the time of Jesus, we see that the Old Testament
02:25 - 02:28
doubtlessly foreshadows the beginnings of being justified by faith alone.
02:29 - 02:33
Um, even if the actions by with face comes through
