Faith is a little boy who ties a rope swing onto a tiny sapling’s branch.
Then, noticing that the seat of the swing rests on the ground, he goes to get the garden hose and begins to water the sapling.447
Romans is all about the righteousness of God provided to the unrighteous through faith in the Gospel.
To better explain this truth, Paul gives us an example in the person of Abraham.
Romans 4 gives some detail to our understanding of how Abraham was made right with God - through faith.
As we saw last week, Abraham was justified apart from works prior to circumcision - which is the outward sign and seal of the covenant relationship.
And as we move forward into vv.
13-15, Paul mentions that we are heirs to God’s promises by faith - not by the law.
1. Heir by Faith – not the law (vv.
13-15)
faith means trusting in or relying on a promise of God’s work and not depending in any way on human performance.
Transgression is defined as the violation of a revealed command
And this inheritance of God’s promises is extended by His grace to all who will call on His name, not just those who are Jews.
2. Grace for All – not just a few (vv.
16-18)
3. Strong in Truth – not weakened by circumstances (vv.
19-22)
v. 19 - the circumstances were against them 100 and 90
v. 20 - Abraham didnt waiver - strengthened in faith - and it led to glorifying God
v. 21 - Because GOd was able to do what He had promised
v. 22 - Abrahams faith was counted to Him for righteousness.

He wasn’t righteous - but his faith was accounted for righteousness.
4. Us Too – not just Abraham (vv.
23-25)
