Context of Romans 4:24

22That is why Abraham’s faith was regarded as the basis of his approval by God. 23But the words “his faith was regarded as the basis of his approval by God” were written not only for him but also for us. Our faith will be regarded as the basis of our approval by God—each of us who believe in the one who brought Jesus, our Lord, back to life. 25Jesus, our Lord, was handed over to death because of our failures and was brought back to life so that we could receive God’s approval.

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 for our encouragement and imitation, to show that we may in a similar manner be accepted and saved. If we believe on him … - Abraham showed his faith in God by believing just what God revealed to him.

• 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. It is plain, that we are not justified by the merit of our own works, but by faith in Jesus Christ and his righteousness; which is the truth urged in this and the foregoing chapter, as the great spring and foundation of all comfort. Christ did meritoriously work our justification and salvation by…Read the comment
