The Point – Romans 4:10-12
Vs 10 – When did Abraham become righteous? It was before the act of circumcision not
after. Being circumcised is the outward
of the inward act.
Vs 11 – Paul brings this point out here. Abraham was righteous before the act of
circumcision. It was outward sign or
seal of his faith. Abraham became the
Father of the faithful in the same way he became righteous and so do all who
follow His example. We walk by faith and
faith alone.
Vs 12 – Abraham is the Father and founder of the Jewish
nation. They are the circumcised but
they walk in faith like Abraham before he was circumcised.
