Rom 4:16 Because of this, it is of faith, in order that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be confirmed to all the seed, not to those who are of the law only, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is father of us all.... "i have made you father of many nations" before the God in whom he believed....
I think
Romans 4:9-12 couldn't make this any plainer!!
Faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness -- how was it reckoned? When he was circumcised or when he was yet uncircumcised? And he received circumcision as a sign...
I'll go ahead and yield here to the faith of Father Abraham and the authority of Paul.
