Romans 4:1–8 brings us into one of the most beautiful and freeing truths in all of Scripture: the question of how a sinner can be counted righteous before God. In a world where we are constantly keeping score—of successes, failures, obedience, guilt, and worth—Paul turns our attention to the only accounting that ultimately matters. Through Abraham and David, this passage invites us to consider the blessing of the one who stands before God not by boasting, earning, or proving, but by faith.
