He explains that Abraham's justification by faith was recorded not just as a historical account, but as a pattern for us to follow. This shows that the way of salvation has always been through faith, and it remains the same for everyone—Jews and Gentiles alike. v. 23–24 : Paul writes, It was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; but for us also (Romans 4:23-24 ). Abraham’s story is more than history; it is an example for us. Just as Abraham’s faith was counted as righteousness, so our faith will also be counted as righteousness. This applies to everyone, whether Jew or Gentile, because God’s grace is unchanging. The same mercy and promise that applied to Abraham apply to all who believe in Jesus Christ.

The Case of Abraham

In the final section of this chapter, Paul applies the example of Abraham to all believers. He explains that Abraham's justification by faith was recorded not just as a historical account, but as a pattern for us to follow. This shows that the way of salvation has always been through faith, and it remains the same for everyone—Jews and Gentiles alike.

v. 23–24: Paul writes, It was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; but for us also (Romans 4:23-24 ^a). Abraham’s story is more than history; it is an example for us. Just as Abraham’s faith was counted as righteousness, so our faith will also be counted as righteousness. This applies to everyone, whether Jew or Gentile, because God’s grace is unchanging. The same mercy and promise that applied to Abraham apply to all who believe in Jesus Christ.

v. 24: The condition for this privilege is faith. Paul says we must believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead. Abraham believed in God’s power to bring life from Sarah’s dead womb. We are called to believe in God’s even greater power to raise Jesus from the dead. This belief includes trusting not only in God’s power but also in his grace—knowing that Christ’s resurrection secures our salvation.
