Faith, rather than works or adherence to the law, is emphasized as the means by which this promise is received. This aligns with Genesis 15:6, where Abraham's belief in God is credited to him as righteousness. The concept of faith as the vehicle for receiving God's promises is central to Paul's argument in Romans, contrasting with the Jewish emphasis on the law. so that it may rest on grace
Grace is unmerited favor from God, highlighting that the promise is a gift rather than something earned. This underscores the New Testament teaching that salvation is by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). The idea of grace ensures that the promise is accessible to all, not limited by human effort or status. and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring
The guarantee of the promise extends beyond ethnic Israel to include all who share the faith of Abraham. This broadens the scope of God's covenant, fulfilling the prophecy that Abraham would be the father of many nations (Genesis 17:4-5). It reflects the inclusivity of the gospel message, which breaks down barriers between Jew and Gentile. not only to those who are of the law
This phrase refers to the Jewish people who received the law through Moses. While the law was given to guide and set apart Israel, Paul argues that it is not the means by which the promise is secured. This challenges the prevailing Jewish thought of the time, which held the law as central to righteousness and covenantal relationship with God. but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham
Here, Paul includes Gentiles who, like Abraham, believe in God and His promises. This faith-based inclusion fulfills the promise that all nations would be blessed through Abraham (Genesis 12:3). It emphasizes the universality of the gospel and the breaking down of ethnic and religious barriers. He is the father of us all
Abraham is presented as the spiritual father of all believers, both Jew and Gentile. This spiritual lineage is based on faith, not ethnicity or adherence to the law. It reflects the unity of believers in Christ, as seen inGalatians 3:28-29, where Paul states that all are one in Christ Jesus and heirs according to the promise. This concept of spiritual fatherhood underscores the continuity of God's redemptive plan from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Persons / Places / Events 1.

14.What are God's promises in the Bible?What Does Romans 4:16 Mean Therefore, the promise comes by faithThe Spirit-inspired logic is simple: God’s promise to bless the nations through Abraham (Genesis 12:3; 15:5–6) must be received the same way Abraham received it—by trusting God. Faith, not human effort, is the pipeline that connects believers to the promise (Galatians 3:6–9). This is why Paul has just written, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness” (Romans 4:3).
so that it may rest on graceGrace means undeserved favor (Ephesians 2:8–9). If the promise hinged on perfect obedience, it would collapse the moment we failed (James 2:10). By anchoring the promise in grace, God secures it in His unchanging character rather than in our fluctuating performance (2 Timothy 2:13). • Faith places us under grace. • Grace makes salvation a gift instead of a wage (Romans 4:4–5). • Therefore, the certainty of the promise is as solid as God Himself (Hebrews 6:17–18).
and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspringA “guarantee” is only as strong as the guarantor. Here, God Himself underwrites the inheritance (1 Peter 1:3–5). Because the promise is grounded in grace, every true descendant of Abraham—spiritually or physically—can be absolutely sure of receiving it (Galatians 3:14). The word guaranteed emphasizes God’s intent to fulfill His covenant without fail, echoing His oath inGenesis 22:16–18.
not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of AbrahamPaul removes any misunderstanding that lineage or the Mosaic Law provides an exclusive route to salvation (Romans 2:28–29). • “Those who are of the law” refers to ethnic Jews who possessed the Law (Deuteronomy 4:5–8). • “Those who are of the faith of Abraham” includes Gentiles who believe as Abraham believed (Acts 15:8–9). Cross references:Romans 3:29–30;Galatians 3:26–28 show that in Christ all distinctions fade at the foot of the cross.
He is the father of us allAbraham’s fatherhood is both physical (Israel) and spiritual (all believers). Jesus hinted at this when He said, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham” (John 8:39). Paul confirms it: “Those who have faith are sons of Abraham” (Galatians 3:7). Thus every believer, Jew or Gentile, stands in the family line of faith, inheriting the righteousness God credited to Abraham.
summaryRomans 4:16 teaches that salvation is secured by faith, rooted in grace, and extended to every person who believes as Abraham believed. Because God Himself guarantees the promise, all who trust in Christ—whether Jew or Gentile—share in the blessings promised to Abraham and become part of the same redeemed family. (16) Therefore it is of faith.--The words "it is" have to be supplied. "It" stands for the Messianic inheritance, or, in common phrase, salvation. Faith on man's part is correlative with grace on the part of God, and salvation being thus dependent upon grace is as wide and universal as grace itself. It knows no restriction of law. Not to that only which is of the law.--Not only to that part of the human race which belongs to the dispensation of the Law, but also to that which is in a spiritual sense descended from Abraham by imitating his faith. Verses 16, 17. - Therefore it is of faith, that it may be according to grace ( κατὰ χάριν, as in ver. 4); to the end the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the Law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of all, (as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee,) before him whom he believed, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth the things that are not as though they were. Ver. 16 introduces no new thought, being but a summing up of what has been said, except that, in ver. 17, the text Genesis 17:5 is adduced in support of the extended sense in which "the seed of Abraham" has been understood. In ver. 17, too, the thought is introduced of how Abraham evinced his faith; and this with a view of showing it to have been in essence the same as the justifying faith of Christians.
