Context of Romans 4:24

22So we see that it is true: Because Abraham believed God, God accepted Abraham as right with him. 23Think about those words, ‘God accepted him as right.’ They are not only speaking about Abraham. They are written in the Bible to help us too. If we believe in God, he will accept us as right with him. God raised our Lord Jesus, so that he became alive again after his death. 25God let people kill Jesus on the cross because of the wrong things that we have done. Then God raised Jesus from death, to show that he would accept us as right with him.

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

• 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.
