The Apostle Paul is extending the example of Abraham's faith to all believers, not just to the Jewish people. This reflects the universal nature of the gospel, as seen in <a href="/galatians/3-28.htm">Galatians 3:28</a>, where Paul states that there is neither Jew nor Greek in Christ. The promise of righteousness through faith is available to all who believe, transcending ethnic and cultural boundaries.to whom righteousness will be credited The concept of righteousness being credited is central to Paul's argument about justification by faith. This is a legal term, implying that righteousness is accounted or imputed to believers, not based on their works but through faith. This mirrors <a href="/genesis/15-6.htm">Genesis 15:6</a>, where Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness. It underscores the doctrine of imputed righteousness, where believers are seen as righteous before God because of their faith in Christ, not because of their own merit.for us who believe in Him Faith is the key component here, specifically faith in God. This belief is not a general faith but a specific trust in the God who fulfills His promises. The focus on belief aligns with <a href="/hebrews/11-6.htm">Hebrews 11:6</a>, which states that without faith, it is impossible to please God. This faith is active and personal, requiring a response to the revelation of God in Christ.who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead The resurrection is the cornerstone of Christian faith, as it validates Jesus' divinity and the efficacy of His atoning work. The phrase highlights God's power and faithfulness, as He raised Jesus, confirming the truth of Jesus' claims and the hope of eternal life for believers. This connects to <a href="/1_corinthians/15-17.htm">1 Corinthians 15:17</a>, where Paul argues that if Christ has not been raised, faith is futile. The resurrection is also a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, such as <a href="/psalms/16-10.htm">Psalm 16:10</a>, which speaks of God not allowing His Holy One to see decay.

The birth of Isaac resembles the resurrection of Christ in that it involved the exercise of Omnipotence, and in that Omnipotence Abraham believed and we are to believe. The Apostle is further led to allude to the Resurrection (though he has not laid so much stress upon it hitherto) because of the place which it held in his theory of the gospel. <a href="/commentaries/romans/4-24.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>but ἀλλὰ (alla) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_235.htm">Strong's 235: </a> But, except, however.
