Who did Paul use in Romans as the prime example of being saved by faith alone?
Paul used Abraham, identified as the old man Abraham, as the prime example in Romans of someone who was saved by faith and faith alone. The Word declares salvation is by faith and faith alone, and Abraham stands as the prime biblical example of that truth.
Les explains that the Word says it is by faith and faith alone. He then points back to Romans, where Paul used the old man Abraham as the prime example of someone who was saved by faith and faith alone. This comes as Les transitions into Galatians chapter 5 verse 13, where he emphasizes that Paul writes to believers, never to the unsaved world. Paul says believers have been called unto liberty, or freedom, and are not to use that liberty as an occasion to the flesh. Les also notes that Scripture has to constantly explain Scripture and that they can go back to other letters of Paul, such as Romans chapter 3 and chapter 6.
