Romans chapter 4
1. God's revealing of His plan of forgiveness/salvation has been progressive. God declared Abraham righteous based upon his faith in the early promises that he was given related to this plan.
2. David needed God to credit him as righteous despite his sins. He needed his sins to be covered. He needed God to provide a way so that charges were not brought against David.
3. If we have the faith referred to in this chapter, we are spiritual children of Abraham.
4. Learn from the examples of Abraham and David. Righteousness can be credited to us by our belief in/dependence upon/faith in the Gospel.
5. Sin results in death. The resurrection proves that Jesus paid what we owe. Death has been conquered!
