An excerpt from "Teaching the Truth.org" entitled, "The Righteousness that comes by Faith" by Susannah Fernandez, states: "Abraham received his promise through the righteousness that comes by faith (Romans 4:13), and this applies to us as well. For us today, “this righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe” (Romans 3:22). We are considered righteous (being in right standing with God) by simply believing upon Jesus Christ. In other words, when we believe on Christ and His atoning sacrifice, we are acting in a way that is pleasing to God and this is ascribed to us as righteousness. We receive all of our promises from God through this righteousness that comes by faith in Jesus Christ. We need to act on God’s promises in faith the same way that Abraham acted in faith."
