Absolutely it does. Look at Galatians 3.....

2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”[c]

7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.

8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”[d]

9 So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
