Why did He have to die? What is the significance of His death? Why is His death so central to the Christian faith that the most common symbol representing Christianity is the cross? The passage in Romans 5:6-11 before us will explain all of that for us.

Abraham: The Father of Us All - Romans 4:9-16 Just as Abraham took God’s promise to be true when He told him that he would have offspring in his old age (Gen 15:6), so David too believed God that his sins would be forgiven when he confessed them (Ps 32:1, 2). Paul used Ps 32:1, 2 to interpret Gen 15:6, which is, to be counted righteous means that our sins are forgiven. That is the greatest blessing one can ever receive.

Abraham’s Justification by Faith Alone - Romans 4:1-8 Justification by faith alone also means that everyone, both Jews and Gentiles are justified the same way, by their faith.
