Romans 5 opens with the marvellous news that believers in Christ enjoy peace with God, stand in grace, and look forward to a glorious future. After addressing how suffering can deepen faith (verses 3–4), Paul turns in verses 5–11 to show why this hope does not disappoint. Two pivotal realities underpin the believer’s confidence: God pours out His love in the heart by the Holy Spirit, and He demonstrates His love in Christ’s atoning sacrifice.

In this passage from Romans 4, Paul returns to the topic of justification and uses the example of Abraham to illustrate that righteousness before God comes not from human effort but through faith. Paul argues that if Abraham had been justified by works, he would have had something to boast about. Instead, the Scripture reveals that Abraham’s faith—believing God’s promise—was credited to him as righteousness, even before he was circumcised.
