Galatians 3:6-9 "6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 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.” 9 So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith."
Both here and more extensively in Hebrews 11, and again in Romans 4 we are given one consistent example of faith. The faith that God credits as righteousness, and that faith is in Abraham in the book of Genesis.
Hopefully now you are beginning to see why I so often emphasize, one book, one story and why I really do not like the two added pages in your Bible that are not inspired, one says Old Testament and one says New Testament, they are worthless and misleading and highly detrimental to the purpose that a merciful God has for the community of Messiah that is on the earth in these last days before the great Day of the Lord. We are to be brother to the most hated and violently opposed people group on the planet, the Jewish people. If we know God has an unchanging purpose for this ethnic nation in that specific geographical land we will be wise and willing and useful, if not we are Nabal or Haman, period.
