Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭2‬-‭5‬

 “Through our faith, Christ has brought us into that blessing of God’s grace that we now enjoy. And we are very happy because of the hope we have of sharing God’s glory. 

And we are also happy with the troubles we have. Why are we happy with troubles? Because we know that these troubles make us more patient. 

And this patience is proof that we are strong. And this proof gives us hope. And this hope will never disappoint us. 

We know this because God has poured out his love to fill our hearts through the Holy Spirit he gave us.”

Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬-‭25‬

 “These words (“he was accepted”) were written not only for Abraham. They were also written for us. 

God will also accept us because we believe. We believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from death. 

Jesus was handed over to die for our sins, and he was raised from death to make us right with God.”

Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭19‬-‭22

 “Abraham was almost a hundred years old, so he was past the age for having children. Also, Sarah could not have children. 

Abraham was well aware of this, but his faith in God never became weak. He never doubted that God would do what he promised. 

He never stopped believing. In fact, he grew stronger in his faith and just praised God. 

Abraham felt sure that God was able to do what he promised. So that’s why “he was accepted as one who is right with God.””

Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬-‭18‬

 “As the Scriptures say, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is true before God, the one Abraham believed—the God who gives life to the dead and speaks of things that don’t yet exist as if they are real. 

There was no hope that Abraham would have children, but Abraham believed God and continued to hope. And that is why he became the father of many nations. As God told him, “You will have many descendants.””

Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭14‬-‭16‬

 “If people could get God’s promise by following the law, then faith is worthless. 

And God’s promise to Abraham is worthless, because the law can only bring God’s anger on those who disobey it. But if there is no law, then there is nothing to disobey. 

So people get what God promised by having faith. This happens so that the promise can be a free gift. And if the promise is a free gift, then all of Abraham’s people will get that promise. 

The promise is not just for those who live under the Law of Moses. It is for all who live with faith as Abraham did. He is the father of us all.”

Romans 4:10-11

 “So how did this happen? Did God accept Abraham before or after he was circumcised? God accepted him before his circumcision. 

Abraham was circumcised later to show that God accepted him. His circumcision was proof that he was right with God through faith before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the father of all those who believe but are not circumcised. They believe and are accepted as people who are right with God.”
