Faith Accounted for Righteousness
Galatians 3:6
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.


We call a child's imitation of copper-plate writing a copy, though every letter betrays a fault, and the whole effort, strictly speaking, more a caricature than a copy, but there is sincere intention in it, and therefore we account it a copy. In imputing faith for righteousness God acts by way of encourage. ment, and uses the most certain means by bringing us to righteousness at last.

(E. W. Shalders, M. A.)
