Romans 4:13-17

Romans 4:13-17 NIRV

Abraham and his family received a promise. God promised that Abraham would receive the world. It would not come to him because he obeyed the law. It would come because of his faith, which made him right with God. Do those who depend on the law receive the promise? If they do, faith would mean nothing. God’s promise would be worthless. The law brings God’s anger. Where there is no law, the law can’t be broken. The promise is based on God’s grace. The promise comes by faith. All of Abraham’s children will certainly receive the promise. And it is not only for those who are ruled by the law. Those who have the same faith that Abraham had are also included. He is the father of us all. It is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” God considers Abraham to be our father. The God that Abraham believed in gives life to the dead. Abraham’s God also creates things that did not exist before.
