Paul shows us the magnitude of our salvation by going all the way back to the foundation of our redemption. He shows that all mankind is united to either Adam or Christ. In Adam, death reigns over all, but in Christ, grace reigns.

NOTE: I repeatedly said "14 years" but it was 24 years between Abraham's promise and the birth of Isaac.
Paul shows us the characteristics of Abraham's faith. He believed despite all the circumstances and his faith grew as it overcame obstacles. Paul applies this to salvation in Christ saying that "it was counted to him as righteousness" was not written for him alone but for we who have trusted in the gospel.
Paul continues to discuss Abraham and his justification. Paul shows from the OT that Abraham was not justified by any work, religious rite, or obedience to law. He was justified by grace alone through faith. This is the same way man is justified today, by grace through faith.
