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