21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

Commentary
Romans 4 is a chapter that focuses on the importance of faith in the life of a believer. Paul begins by discussing the faith of Abraham, who was declared righteous by God because of his faith. Paul then goes on to explain that this same faith is available to all who believe in Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that it is not by works of the law that one is justified, but by faith in Jesus Christ.
