Context of Romans 4:24

22And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous. 23And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn’t just for Abraham’s benefit. It was recorded for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with 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 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
