We are righteous not because of our good deeds and works- this would give us glory but we are by faith because it is giving him the Glory! When we work it requires us to do something but if we have faith we already recognize that God has done something for US! Love in verse 13 that it say it was based on a right relationship with God- that comes by faith, this is why our relationship with him is so important and can't be overlooked! Great though it is a free gift- the price has been paid, the random, its free nothing to be earned or bought from it, which is great for us and for us to spread the Good News its free! He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises (21) so powerful.
I know there is a lot of Jew Gentile talk, i know in our time it maybe hard to understand the two groups but do you guys understand the difference between the two?

There is nothing to be done but to be thankful, joyful and spread the word! There never was anything to be done from the day you were born God's gift was there for you. Abraham was righteous because of faith in God whatever God told him to do he did without question. Do not question the Lord just know that he is God!
Its funny in NLT uses the term Gentile and Jew but the NIV uses not circumcised and circumcised. Both meaning the same thing.
Gentile or not circumcised are not Jews right?

Romans 4- Worship the Lord! Tell everyone about Gods word. He is mighty! Abraham gained righteousness by having faith in the Lord. Like what Tanner said "Do not question the Lord just know that he is God."
