Chuck Smith on Romans 4

Why did God establish the principle of righteousness by faith? It’s the only way that my relationship with Him can remain constant in spite of my human failures. 

This new covenant is based on God’s faithfulness to keep His word. I fulfill my part of the bargain by trusting in God through faith in Jesus.  My righteous standing is complete once I stop trying to justify myself before God and rest where God is resting--  in the finished work of Jesus.
