Commentary on Romans 4:2

Theological / Devotional

Were justified. If Abraham had been justified as a reward for his works of obedience, he indeed would have had something to be proud of. But actually, Abraham had nothing to boast about in the sight of God. Paul explains why in vs. 3-5. The truth of the matter is that Abraham did not receive his justification as a reward for works at all, but rather in the same manner as all other believers.
