Bible: Romans 4:16-17
4:16 For this reason it is by faith so that it may be by grace, 1 with the result that the promise may be certain to all the descendants – not only to those who are under the law, but also to those who have the faith of Abraham, 2 who is the father of us all 4:17 (as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”). 3 He is our father 4 in the presence of God whom he believed – the God who 5 makes the dead alive and summons the things that do not yet exist as though they already do. 6
