Summary
Romans 4:18-22 - In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.” 19 He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness[b] of Sarah's womb. 20 No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 21 fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. 22 That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.”
Romans 2:12-16 - For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

| 0:55.2 | All right today. Today I just love the passage we're going to read today because it |
| 1:00.9 | is so clear and so simple and in my view this passage gives us a |
| 1:08.5 | picture of what faith looks like. Now there's many times when I'm in conversation with my wife or I'm |
| 1:14.9 | in a counseling setting where I'm talking with someone and so it's describing to |
| 1:19.4 | me a situation or more so a thought that they have or a way that they perceive things. |
| 1:26.7 | I will often say to them, now what does that look like? |
| 1:31.6 | And what I'm asking is for them to give me a more fully orbed picture of the thing |
| 1:37.0 | they're describing. I want a better explanation, a better description, for the sake of my own understanding. And in today's passage I feel like |
| 1:46.8 | it's as if we said to the apostle Paul what does this kind of faith that |
| 1:51.1 | you're talking about look like. |
| 1:53.6 | Give us an example. |
| 1:55.3 | And he does exactly that. |
| 1:57.8 | And he's using the person of Abraham |
