Romans 4

Paul the Apostle was a complex man that spoke to Christians about things hard to understand. Between 44 and 48 CE Jerusalem was hit hard by a depression. Paul who was Rhomaios and others were consistently able to collect food and funds to help the needy in a daily ministration of Pure Religion across international boundaries through a network of early Christian communities meeting in local free assemblies according to the pattern that was commanded by Christ. This system of fervent charity was the table of the Lord which provided for the welfare of the people through the Corban of Christ which made the word of God to effect. This peculiar system was not like the legal charity of the world which was a snare, nor the Corban of the Pharisees.

Paul is writing the Church in Rome. The Church in its most general sense, is the religious society founded and established by Jesus Christ, to receive, preserve, and propagate His doctrines and ordinances. It is also a body of communicants gathered in an orderly way as a body or community of Men and women who follow the ways of Christ, united in the way they govern themselves profession of the same faith and the observance of the same ritual and ceremonies.

Is Paul saying we do not have to keep the ten commandments or saying we do not have to get circumcised?

It is essential that we forgive in order to be forgiven according to the Doctrines of Jesus which would also include admitting and confessing our own sins.

Our Lord and Master is supposed to be Christ which is only true if we are actually repenting and seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness which are laid out clearly in the Doctrines of Jesus

Real Faith in God and His Holy Spirit will manifest the deeds of righteousness and not those deeds of iniquity and the Nicolaitan

There is false faith which is not true faith.

Chapter 4

1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

The God of righteousness

6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute[reckon ]39 sin.

9 ¶ Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circum cision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.

13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Righteousness

14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: [Two sons]

15 Because the law worketh43 wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

17 ¶ (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,)before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb:

20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

23 ¶ Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
