Romans 4:1-5 — Abraham justified by faith, not works, citing Genesis 15:6

Ben Shapiro, a Catholic Bishop and the Gospel. 00:35:20 – 00:36:21

Mike uses Abraham as the foundational Old Testament example of faith-based justification

Romans 4:1-5 asks: was Abraham justified by works? The answer from Genesis 15:6 is: 'Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.' Abraham is the father of the Jewish people. His righteousness came through faith before the law was given. To the one who 'does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness.' This is not a New Testament innovation — it is rooted in Genesis.
