The Promise Realized Through Faith
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; Rom 4:23
it was not... Gen. 15:6 was written for all mankind.
This just means that not only is faith full payment for Abraham’s righteousness, but any one who has faith in Jesus Christ is counted righteous, as well.
All scripture has universal application, and Abraham’s experience is no exception. If Abraham was justified by his faith, then all others are justified on the same basis.
Rom. 4:23-25 apply the truth about justification and its illustration in Abraham to the apostle’s readers — from the believers in Rome who first read this letter to people today. The divine declaration of Abraham’s justification was written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness.
