Romans 4:1-3 What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.3 For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."
Paul continues in chapeter 4 to support his point made in ch.3 that people can ONLY be justified by faith apart from the law. He uses Abraham, to prove his point, Abraham the 1st to receive the promise.
A SURE FOUNDATION TO ANY Jew.
By using Abraham Paul can show that justification by faith is not a new concept, at all.
Genesis 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. This clearly tells us that ABRAHAM was justified by faith, not by works.
