Abraham and David’s Faith Counted as Righteousness
[3] For what does the Scripture say? "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS COUNTED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."
[Rom 4:3 LSB]
[5] But to the one who does not work, but believes upon Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,
[6] just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
[7] "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED.
[8] "BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT."
[Rom 4:5-8 LSB]
[23] Now not for his sake only was it written THAT IT WAS COUNTED TO HIM,
[24] but for our sake also, to whom it will be counted, as those who believe upon Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
[25] [He] who was delivered over on account of our transgressions, and was raised on account of our justification.
[Rom 4:23-25 LSB]
Results of Justification by Faith
[1] Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
[2] through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we boast in hope of the glory of God.
[Rom 5:1-2 LSB]
[8] But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath [of God] through Him.
[Rom 5:8-9 LSB]
The Gift of Righteousness in Christ
[15] But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. ...
[18] So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. [Rom 5:15, 18 LSB]
Dead to Sin, Alive to God
[3] Or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? [4] Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.
[Rom 6:3-4 LSB]
[8] Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
[9] knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him.
[Rom 6:8-9 LSB]
Slaves of Righteousness
[19] I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, leading to [further] lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, leading to sanctification.
[Rom 6:19 LSB]
[22] But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit, leading to sanctification, and the end, eternal life.
[23] For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. [Rom 6:22-23 LSB]
