Abraham had a special relationship with God, and at its core was this truth: Abraham believed in God, and God counted Abraham as righteous because of his faith.
The apostle Paul says that all who believe like Abraham are children of Abraham. In fact, this story of Abraham was recorded for our benefit, that we would have assurance that God will deal with us the same way.
The bad news: Your own attempts to make things right are not sufficient to be made right with God.
The good news: Your sins are not too heinous or shameful to be forgiven by God.
There’s no “doing” required of you. This righteousness isn’t your wages, but rather it’s a gift from God to you. If you believe that God does what he says, then Jesus' death paid for your sins, and his resurrection justified you completely.
