How do we know that Abraham's faith was counted as righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Abraham's faith was counted as righteousness because he believed God's promise (Romans 4:3).

The Apostle Paul vividly details in Romans 4:3 that Abraham believed God, and that faith was credited to him as righteousness. This declaration underlines a key Reformed interpretation that human efforts or adherence to the law cannot earn righteousness. Instead, it is through faith in God’s promises, as exemplified by Abraham, that one can attain righteousness. Paul further supports this by stating that Abraham received this righteousness before his circumcision, indicating that faith, not law or rituals, is the pathway to justification.
