Beholding Bible Truth

Romans 4:1-17 (#14.2025.03.09)


Listen Later

Scott continues the study of Romans, focusing on the crucial foundation of faith. Drawing on the analogy of a football, Scott highlights the importance of having strong foundational beliefs, particularly understanding God's sovereignty, as Paul discussed. These foundations are likened to footers upon which the entire faith structure is built. If these footers are out of alignment, everything above them could be at risk.

The episode focuses on how Abraham's faith was reckoned to him as righteousness and discusses the implications of God's promise for Jews and Gentiles. Scott emphasizes that the righteousness of God is credited not by works or physical lineage but through faith, which is itself a gift from God. The conversation extends to King David's confirmation of this righteousness apart from works, and the significance of God's promises being guaranteed by His unchanging nature. Scott reflects on the grace of God and the assurance believers can have through faith.
