Unashamed - Part 4

Romans 4 takes us deep into the life of Abraham to show that faith has always been the foundation of a right relationship with God. Abraham believed before circumcision, before the law, and before scripture existed in written form. When God brought him outside his tent on a dark desert night and told him to count the stars, Abraham looked at the impossible and chose to trust the promise anyway. God counted that faith as righteousness, and that moment was recorded not just for Abraham's sake but for ours.

One of the most powerful truths in Romans 4 is that faith belongs to everyone. Abraham is the spiritual father of all who believe, regardless of ethnicity, background, or religious tradition. No cultural identity or personal history gets to define you more than your identity as a child of God. Jesus died for our sins and was raised to make us right with God. That is the gospel, and it is available to every person who believes.
