How do we know the righteousness of Abraham is true?

Answered in 1 source

Abraham's righteousness is confirmed in the Bible as a result of his faith in God's promises.

Romans 4 explains how Abraham's faith was counted as righteousness, demonstrating that justification comes through faith and not by works. Abraham believed in God’s promise regarding his descendants, despite his old age and the barrenness of Sarah, showing that he trusted in God’s power (Romans 4:20-21). The act of believing God, not adherence to the law or his own works, earned him this status before God. This principle of justification by faith is foundational in Reformed theology, aligning with the doctrine of grace, which emphasizes God's initiative in salvation rather than human merit.
