But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
But this same thing applies to us too, we get credited with righteousness when we believe in the God who brought Jesus back from the dead.
The same faith that made Abraham right with God works for us when we trust in Jesus' resurrection.
📚 Historical Context
In the letter to the Romans, the Apostle Paul is building on the story of Abraham to explain that righteousness comes through faith in God, not through human efforts or adherence to the law. This verse specifically extends that promise to believers in Jesus, emphasizing that God credits righteousness to those who trust in Him as the one who raised Jesus from the dead. Paul wrote this to a mixed Jewish and Gentile church in Rome, addressing divisions and encouraging unity through the gospel of grace.
