Abraham, Circumcision, and Justification - Romans 4:1-12

God did not consider Abraham righteous because Abraham submitted to circumcision or any other religious ritual. Abraham was counted righteous because he believed God. And out of his trust came outward acts of obedience. Abraham’s justification came by faith, apart from his works. It is the same for us. In these five messages, John Piper unpacks this doctrine that changed the world and explains the God-glorifying nature of faith.
