Romans 4:17-25 "The Promise Realized Through Faith"

Pastor Lowell Nelson teaches about Romans 4:17-25 "The Promise Realized Through Faith" on 7/21/2025 for our Monday Upper Room Bible Study.Romans 4:17-25The Promise Realized Through Faith17 (as it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations" ) in the presence of Him whom he believed - God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be." 19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. 22 And therefore "it was accounted to him for righteousness." 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, 24 but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
