How was Abraham saved?

Just sharing a few verses and this question…. Before there ever was a written law there was Abraham, how was he saved? “For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Rom 4:3 And sure enough >> “And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it … Continue reading »
