Righteousness Imputed by Faith – Romans 4:1-8

Romans chapter 4 opens up for us the blessing of having the righteousness of Christ imputed to our account, by faith and without works.
The Apostle Paul gives us the examples of Abraham and David as Old Testament examples of men who were justified by faith.

Proper Vengeance – Romans 12:19
