Abraham was justified before Jesus’ incarnation. Is faith in Christ necessary for justification?

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that true righteousness, as seen in Abraham, is achieved through faith in God's promises. Referencing Romans 4, Genesis 15, and James 2, it clarifies that this imputed righteousness is not earned by works but by believing in Christ. The takeaway is that saving faith is directed at Christ, and while works may demonstrate faith, they do not contribute to justification.
