What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about; but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as
righteousness.”
Romans 4:1-3
Here, the scriptures eliminate any possibility that we can be justified before God by works. It
was only Abraham’s faith that made him right before God.
