We read in Genesis 15:6 that “Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.” How can sinners by nature have any relationship with a holy God? Apart from the person of Christ and His redemptive work on our behalf, ours is indeed a hopeless case. Alistair Begg explains the doctrine of justification and the necessity of faith as the channel through which we receive God’s grace in salvation.
1After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.” 2But Abram said, “O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue1 childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3And Abram said, “Behold, you have given me no offspring, and a member of my household will be my heir.” 4And behold, the word of the Lord came to him: “This man shall not be your heir; your very own son2 shall be your heir.” 5And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” 6And he believed the Lord, and he counted it to him as righteousness.
