Faith Counted as Righteousness, Jealousy Among God's People
What to notice today
Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness, establishing the principle that justification comes through faith rather than works of the law. In Numbers, Phinehas's zealous action against idolatry and immorality among Israel demonstrates how God honors those who take a stand against sin, while Romans 5-6 explores how believers are freed from sin's dominion through Christ's death and resurrection, called to live as instruments of righteousness rather than slaves to sin.
