in the first line of the passage above refers to Abraham.&nbsp; The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Roman church, discussed Abraham as an example of justification by faith.&nbsp; Abraham and his wife Sarah were advanced in age, yet God promised them they would have a son, and through that son, Abraham was to be a father of many nations.&nbsp; In short, Abraham believed God.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul says that it&#8217;s not only Abraham who was justified (made just before God) but &#8220;for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.&#8221;&nbsp;
