Romans 4:13-17 - Abraham and His Spiritual Offsprings
Promised Inheritance Came Through Faith Not Through Law
13
It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that
he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by
faith.
14
For if those who live by law are heirs, faith has no
value and the promise is worthless,
15 because law brings
wrath.
And where there is no law there is no transgression.
16
Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be
guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring-- not only to those who are of the law
but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
17
As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is
our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed-- the God who gives life to
the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.
