Reckoned Righteous

3/12/2023

0 Comments

 
Sometime after the events of Lot’s rescue and Melchizedek’s blessing, Abram is confronted by the reality that despite God’s goodness, he lacks an heir to inherit God’s blessings. Abram looks at his present reality and concludes the promise of God doesn’t look possible. God, out of His great kindness and mercy, comforts the Patriarch by not only stating His promise, but illustrating it to Abram.
 
Trusting in this promise, God reckons Abram his righteousness. The Apostle Paul takes this one verse and expands on it in Romans 4. Addressing the subject of works righteousness manifested in circumcision, Paul points back to the moment Abram was credited as righteous. That happened before his circumcision, which means God’s favor was upon Abram long before the man could do anything to merit salvation.
Genesis 15:1-8

    About the series

    The Book of Genesis is the starting point of God’s covenant with His people. This book gives us the historical sketch of the creation, fall, and redemption of the world. Genesis is also a perfect litmus test to gauge whether or not a person fully trusts in the authority, sufficiency, and inerrancy of Scripture.
