For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith. For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be heirs, faith is null and the promise void. For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression. Roman 4:13-15. The promise was received by Abraham through faith, “not through the law”. If the inheritance were dependent on obedience to the law, faith would have no place in the divine scheme of things, and the promise would be void, since the law cannot bring the obedience it requires for its fulfillment. Given the established truth of sinfulness of all people, it is impossible that the promise could be received on the basis of law-keeping. How much different would your walk with Christ be if you had faith like Abraham?
