What makes me acceptable to God? The religious person wants to know: What makes someone part of God’s people? Is it heritage? Circumcision? Keeping the Law? Religious performance? Paul goes back to Abraham and says something radically important: God declared Abraham righteous before Abraham received the religious sign of circumcision and centuries before the Law was given. In other words, the blessing of God doesn’t come because we have the right religious credentials. It comes because we trust the God who gives grace. Like we read in Romans chapter 3, faith receives what works can never earn.

Romans 1 down through Romans 3:20 reports the bad news: None is righteous, no, not one (3:11). But then, in 3:21 - 3:31 Paul shares the good news: We Are Saved! By Grace Alone! Through Faith Alone! In Christ Alone! Paul builds his case in Romans 1 - 3 using logic and skillful argumentation. In Romans 4:1-8 Paul looks to the Patriarchs, Abraham and David, to illustrate and confirm the glorious doctrine of justification by faith. The passage concludes describing the staggering blessing we believers in Jesus enjoy - - - our lawless deeds are forgiven... our sins are covered... the Lord does not count our sin against us... we are counted righteous apart from works. In short, and as it says later in Romans 5:1, we have peace with God. And even more than this, we become children of God. Imagine. Really - - - try to get your mind around this. Peace with The Almighty. Daughters and Sons of the King. We Who Believe Are Breathtakingly Blessed.

Salvation by grace eliminates all spiritual pride and self-righteousness. God freely justifies all people by grace through faith, replacing our urge to brag with resting entirely in Christ’s completed work.
