Paul has just spun off 3 chapters of amazing theology. He could keep on rolling, but instead, he drives home his points by pulling from one of the most familiar stories in the OT. He asks and answers the question, “What does the Scripture say?” Most from Paul’s day would have been familiar with Abraham’s story so the point would have been powerful. However, many people today are more familiar with the story of Bart Simpson than Abraham, so it would do us some good to step back and review his amazing life.

So this week and next week, we are stepping back into Genesis with the framework of Romans 4 in mind. Paul does not simply pull Abraham’s story out as a mere example. Much more is going on here. As we hear the story unfold, we will be reminded or possibly see for the first time God’s amazing redemptive story that He has been bringing to pass since the world began.
