Romans 4:9-12 1. Faith concludes the blessing for all, including those “not prepared.” What is the instrument? “faith-unto-righteousness” or “a religious-sign-from-birth” 2. Faith makes us righteous, even when the old is around us. “in uncircumcision” Paul establishes a more stable and durable way to read Genesis 12-17. -Genesis 12: All families blessed through Abraham’s family -Genesis 15: This promise of offspring Abraham believes unto righteousness, while God, by himself, confirms it with a covenant -Genesis 17: God, with Abraham, establishes a visible, outward covenant by which the people will be marked out The New Covenant overlaps with and secures the promise of Abraham. 3. Believing has always been the make-or-break question. -Not all Old Covenant members were “promise-members.” -Christian hope and church health are built on the foundation of faith in the promise of God.
