Abraham and David in Romans 4 as Old Testament examples of justification apart from works

Why We Can't Agree on What Faith Is and What We Can Learn From It. 00:37:51 – 00:38:21

Exegesis of Romans 4 on OT salvation

Mike reads from Romans 4: Paul argues both Abraham (Genesis 15:6) and David (Psalm 32) demonstrate that righteousness is counted apart from works. The one who does not work but believes in God, his faith is counted as righteousness. This establishes that the OT salvation mechanism was identical to NT salvation in its faith-basis, though not in its explicit knowledge of Christ.
