Abram ... believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness (Gen. 15:3, 6).
How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision .... Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all (Rom. 4:10, 16).

We love him, because he first loved us (1 John 4:19).
