13. A closer look at Romans 4 4:1-25 Abraham, a model for the Christian Believer Abrahams was Justified by Faith To show that the justification of all human being by grace through faith confirms the law, Paul argues that the principle was already operative in the Hebrew Scriptures. Abraham is used as an example: he was reckoned upright because of his faith not because of his circumcision, not in dependence on the law, but in virtue of a promise. As a result, he is our faith; his faith the “type” of Christian Faith
