Abraham believed God

What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Rom 4:1-3

The number "4" is the number of the world, as the world has four directions, (north, east, south & west) In Chapter 4 of Romans, the world needs to know that Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteous" 

“Abraham believed in (trusted, relied on) God, and it was credited to his account as righteousness (right living, right standing with God).” 

Very relevant in our Faith Base Religion.
Wow, what a GREAT chapter!! Romans 4, here's how it ended,

And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24 but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25 who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
 
The word imputation comes directly from the Latin. It is an accounting term; it means “to apply to one’s
account.” Expenses are debited and income is credited.
 
A great chapter on the Doctrine of Imputation!!
Also see Amplified version, might make you shout!!
Praise-the-Lord!!
 
 
 
 
Truly we have so great a salvation !!

We should tell it near & far!!
