Question 10

R 4:16

Answer 10

So the promise is received by faith. It is given as a free gift. And we are all certain to receive it, whether or not we live according to the law of Moses, if we have faith like Abraham’s. For Abraham is the father of all who believe.

Question 11

R 4:11

Answer 11

Circumcision was a sign that Abraham already had faith and that God had already accepted him and declared him to be righteous-even before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the spiritual father of those who have faith but have not been circumcised. They are counted as righteous because of their faith.

For the law always brings punishment on those who try to obey it. (The only way to avoid breaking the law is to have no law to break!)

Question 17

R 4:10

Answer 17

But how did this happen? Was he counted as righteous only after he was circumcised, or was it before he was circumcised? Clearly, God accepted Abraham before he was circumcised!

Question 18

R 4:17
