The Faith of Abraham

Who was Abraham and why does Paul make such a big deal about him in Romans? This is a significant question when it comes to understanding the gospel. Paul points out that Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. When we think of righteousness, we often think about obeying certain rules and adhering to a set of laws. Abraham was counted as righteous 430 years before God issued the Law to Moses. This week, Fr. Ben Williams continues our series in the Book of Romans with a sermon on 4:13-18. We are reminded of the good news that we do not earn God’s love; instead, it is a free gift of grace.
