Context of Romans 4:24

22Therefore his faith was credited to him as righteousness (right standing with God). 23Now not for his sake alone was it written that it was credited to him, but for our sake also—to whom righteousness will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead— 25who was betrayed and crucified because of our sins, and was raised [from the dead] because of our justification [our acquittal—absolving us of all sin before God].

Commentaries on Romans 4:24

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24But for us also - The mention of this circumstance has a much more extensive design than merely to honor Abraham. It is recorded as the model, according to which God will save both Jews and Gentiles: indeed there can be no other way of salvation; as all have sinned, all must either be saved by faith through Christ Jesus, or finally perish. If God, therefore, will our salvation, it must be by faith; and faith contemplates his promise, and his promise…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 24But for us also - For our use; (compare Romans 15:4; 1 Corinthians 10:11), that we might have an example of the way in which people may be accepted of God.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 23-25Verses 23-25 The history of Abraham, and of his justification, was recorded to teach men of after-ages; those especially to whom the gospel was then made known.

Christ did meritoriously work our justification and salvation by…Read the comment
