[af_vet_1981]

Abraham's faith worked in concert with his works. Every instance of his faith in Hebrews is accompanied by his deeds. He continued in his faith and works, passed the test as it were, and his legacy is in our scriptures.

Consider incorporating this with the NASB passage:

When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

Context, af....context.

Abram was declared righteous because he believed God. His faith was first....then came his "works" when he was willing to offer Isaac.....because he believed God.

Notice that even after he believed God, Abram still sinned...yet, he is in the Hebrews "Hall of Fame".
