Romans 4:22

This verse brings Paul’s argument concerning Abraham’s justification to a climax. The apostle had proved the point he set out to demonstrate, and he restated Genesis 15:6 as a conclusion (cf. Romans 4:4).

"The spiritual attitude of a man, who is conscious that in himself he has no strength, and no hope of a future, and who nevertheless casts himself upon, and lives by, the word of God which assures him of a future, is the necessarily and eternally right attitude of all souls to God. He whose attitude it is, is at bottom right with God." [Note: James Denney, "St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans," in The Expositor’s Greek Testament, 2:621.]
