our faith in Him - DB

And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness. Gen. 15:6

Abraham is old and childless. God comes to him and tells him he will have a child and his descendants will be as numerous as the stars in heaven. And he believed in the Lord and his faith was counted unto him as righteousness.

When we place our faith in the Lord it is counted unto us as righteousness. Abraham did not place his trust in himself or his on ability, but in the one who promised.

Likewise, the righteousness of Christ is imputed unto us when we place our faith in Him.
