Romans Chapter 4 of the Bible, specifically the New International Version (NIV), focuses on the concept of justification by faith. It uses the examples of Abraham and David to argue that righteousness is credited to individuals based on their belief in God, not through adherence to the law or performing good deeds. The text explains that Abraham's faith was counted as righteousness before he was circumcised, making him a father figure for believers regardless of their background. Furthermore, it connects this principle to believers in Jesus, whose faith in his resurrection also results in being credited with righteousness. The passage highlights that God's promise comes through grace and faith, not through works, ensuring its availability to all who believe.
