Romans 4:23 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 4:23

Now it was not written for his sake alone
This was not left on the sacred records, ( Genesis 15:6 ) ,

that it was imputed to him;
purely on his account, merely for his sake, as an encomium of his faith, and an honourable testimony to it, and for the encouragement of it; though this was doing him a very great honour, and was one design of it.

Romans 4:23 In-Context

21 Abraham felt sure that God was able to do what he had promised.

22 So, "God accepted Abraham's faith, and that faith made him right with God."

23 Those words ("God accepted Abraham's faith") were written not only for Abraham

24 but also for us. God will accept us also because we believe in the One who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

25 Jesus was given to die for our sins, and he was raised from the dead to make us right with God.
