Rom 4:3 | MHM | STEP | v. 3 : Paul turns to Scripture, saying, What does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness (Romans 4:3; Genesis 15:6 ). This verse shows that Abraham was not justified by his works but by his faith in God’s promise. It was God’s grace that counted Abraham’s faith as righteousness. This teaches us that faith, not perfect obedience, is what makes us right with God.
