May I interrupt this theological and self-satisfactory high-fiving, to point out that "The Cross of Christ Alone Can Save."
Romans 4:2 Was it because of his good deeds that God accepted him? If so, he would have had something to boast about. But from God's point of view Abraham had no basis at all for pride.
Romans 4:3 For the Scriptures tell us, "Abraham believed God, so God declared him to be righteous."
Romans 4:4 When people work, their wages are not a gift. Workers earn what they receive.
Romans 4:5 But people are declared righteous because of their faith, not because of their work.
