Some scholars contend that faith of Christ in Romans 3:22 and the faith of Abraham in Romans 4:3 are covenantal faithfulness. Paul’s focuses Abraham’s covenantal relationship in Romans 4:3.The flow of Paul’s thought in Romans 3:21-4:25 is covenantal rather than forensic. Abraham’s faithfulness following Christ’ faithfulness is based on God’s covenantal faithfulness, which is God’s righteousness. The forensic justification by faith is not pivotal in Paul’s argument. This thought, Abraham’s faithfulness, concerning justification by faith is opposed to Reformers’ sola fide. Martin Luther asserts, “Abraham believed God, and it, this very believing even without works, was reckoned to him, by God, as righteousness, so that through this he should be righteous before God. And thus it is not a matter of him who works but of God who accepts his faith as righteousness.” Paul’s emphasis is believing in God, while some contemporary scholars emphasize the faithfulness of Abraham. In this article, I will first examine Abraham’s faith in Romans 4:3 against contemporary scholars who assert that this verse refers to Abraham’s faithfulness. First, Abraham represents justification of the ungodly who are justified by their faith in Jesus Christ. Their faith does not correspond to Abraham’s faithfulness in terms of the covenantal relationship, since the ungodly are excluded from the Mosaic covenant. Second, the nature of Abraham’s faith in Genesis 15:6 which is quoted in Romans 4:3 is believing in the Lord rather than his covenantal faithfulness.
Abstract
Some scholars contend that faith of Christ in Romans 3:22 and the faith of Abraham in Romans 4:3 are covenantal faithfulness. Paul’s focuses Abraham’s covenantal relationship in Romans 4:3.The flow of Paul’s thought in Romans 3:21-4:25 is covenantal rather than forensic. Abraham’s faithfulness following Christ’ faithfulness is based on God’s covenantal faithfulness, which is God’s righteousness. The forensic justification by faith is not pivotal in Paul’s argument. This thought, Abraham’s faithfulness, concerning justification by faith is opposed to Reformers’ sola fide. Martin Luther asserts, “Abraham believed God, and it, this very believing even without works, was reckoned to him, by God, as righteousness, so that through this he should be righteous before God. And thus it is not a matter of him who works but of God who accepts his faith as righteousness.” Paul’s emphasis is believing in God, while some contemporary scholars emphasize the faithfulness of Abraham. In this article, I will first examine Abraham’s faith in Romans 4:3 against contemporary scholars who assert that this verse refers to Abraham’s faithfulness. First, Abraham represents justification of the ungodly who are justified by their faith in Jesus Christ. Their faith does not correspond to Abraham’s faithfulness in terms of the covenantal relationship, since the ungodly are excluded from the Mosaic covenant. Second, the nature of Abraham’s faith in Genesis 15:6 which is quoted in Romans 4:3 is believing in the Lord rather than his covenantal faithfulness.
