‏ Romans 4:25

v. 25: Paul explains the meaning of Christ’s death and resurrection. He writes, He was delivered for our offences and raised again for our justification (Romans 4:25 a). Jesus was delivered to death as a sacrifice for our sins. He bore the punishment we deserved to satisfy God’s justice. But his resurrection completes our justification. When Jesus rose from the dead, it was proof that God accepted his sacrifice and that the debt for our sins was fully paid. His resurrection is the foundation of our hope and assurance that we are truly forgiven.

In summary, the story of Abraham teaches us that righteousness comes by faith, not by works. Just as Abraham trusted God’s promise, we are called to trust in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again for our justification. This is the great truth that brings comfort and hope to all believers.
