Genesis 15:6 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

Reader! behold how the apostle Paul extols this faith. Romans 4:19-21. But may we not add, that this was a believing faith, on the person and righteousness of Jesus? See John 8:56 and Hebrews 11:4. There is one thing highly observable in this account of Abram's faith, and which I beg the Reader particularly to remark; that the Patriarch's justification, on account of it, was before his circumcision. The apostle dwells at length upon this in his Epistles: see Romans 4:3; Galatians 3:6. And we shall do well to dwell upon it also.
