1What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? 2For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3For what does the Scripture say? “ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” 4Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. 5But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, 6just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works.

9Is this blessing then on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say, “FAITH WAS CREDITED TO ABRAHAM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” 10How then was it credited? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised; 11and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them, 12and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised. (Romans 4:1-6; 9-12)

So, as we see from Scripture, Abraham was justified by faith, as we see nothing mentioned there about any works Abraham did and no mention of works that were required by God of Abraham to be justified.

Abraham met the faith requirements God had at that time and was justified.

There were no works involved.

Geez, you just don't get it.

What works, persevering, through hell and high waters. How do you think he kept his faith going, through actions, seeking the unknown first of all, he had no clue at first but just believed.
He put this faith to work from the beginning. One does not work without the other.

Tis the protester Martin Luther who added faith alone to the Bible.

I get so tired of this argument. There is no faith without works also. Praying alone is putting your faith to work.
