Abraham believed God, and God accepted this FAITH...
He accepted Faith..
"faith is counted AS Righteousness". "justification BY faith".
Listen reader.....we dont have any righteousness for God to accept.....so, he accepts our FAITH in the RIGHTEOUS ONE, to accept us.
What is this Acceptance?
Its God's blood and death, that is Christ on the Cross. This is being ACCEPTED by GOD, on our behalf, because we gave God our FAITH in Christ THE Savior.
God says...: "you take my Son, i make you my Son".
God says ...: "you take Jesus, and i will take you".
See that FAITH?.....God accepts that to have us, and keep us......to give us the new birth, as "born again".
Simply put.....God gives the Cross as our forgiveness, when we give God our Faith in Jesus who died for us on The Cross.
God gives us HIS Righteousness, because Jesus became our sin, and was judged for them all, on The Cross.
See, we have nothing that God will accept, as we are sinners, damned.
So, God died on the Cross to give Himself what HE can Accept...... to accept us.
See, God is not accepting us, He is accepting His own blood and death given on the Cross....on our behalf.
Salvation, is God taking us into His Family based only on what God did for us on the Cross.
No water need apply.
No commandment keeping need apply.
Only the blood and death of Jesus, will God accept, to accept YOU.
And to GET that Applied to you, so that you become God's son, is to give God your FAITH that He did this for you.
That is FAITH, that God accepts., and if you give Him your Faith in His Son, He will make you His Son by this...>"born again".
And to be told He did this for us, is to hear the GOSPEL. And to share this message is to "preach the Cross".
"the preaching of The Cross, is the power of God, unto Salvation".
