Abraham was JUSTIFIED by WORKS! Along with his Faith

The "Works of the Law" of Moses are different than the "Works of Faith" in Jesus. Many people falsely think that when Paul talks about Works of the Law he's talking about all works. And this is plainly false. There is a "Law of Works" and a "Law of Faith" as well, see Romans 3:27-31. Also read Hebrews 11 to see the works of faith many did (including gentiles) throughout the years.

But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:20-26

Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also, since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law. Romans 3:27-31

Amen brother!

Acts 10:35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and 👉works righteousness is accepted by Him.👈

Faith works by love (Gal 5:6) and love works no ill to his neighbor, therefore love is the fulfillment of the law! (Rom 13:10)

Amen! Psalm 37:27, Romans 5:1 (saving faith = verse 5), James 2:8.

1 John 4:7. Those born of God do not commit sin. In other words they do not walk after the flesh (willful sin). They may have sins of ignorance, but they do not willfully commit sin because they are filled with God's Holy Spirit (LOVE). Love does no ill to his neighbor, and also looks for ways to do GOOD to his neighbor in need. Faith WORKETH by LOVE. As born of God christians, we must walk according to the Spirit daily (deny our old man of sin and carry our cross following Jesus), because Jesus LEADS us to ETERNAL LIFE.

And people will still deny this truth because they love their sins.
