What does Roman's chapter 4 verse 16 mean?
Paul takes up the case of Abraham because those who were teaching that Gentiles must become Jewish proselytes in order to be Christians based their claims on God's promise to Abraham, which were linked to the sign of circumcision: if one was not of the seed of Abraham by nature, he would have to become so by circumcision. Paul explains that the promise was given on the basis of Abraham's faith while he was still uncircumcised. Thus, Abraham's heirs are those who have the same faith, rather than those who are circumcised. The grand thing in Abraham's life was his faith, not his circumcision.

What is the Christian's inheritance?
Answer:The Christian's inheritance is God's promise to Abraham, to inherit the world... sometimes called the "Kingdom of God.""...ye are all one in Christ. If ye be Christ's, THEN ARE YE ABRAHAM'S SEED, AND HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE." (Gal.3:29)"Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham." (Gal.3:7)"For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith." (Rom.4:13)"There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and you yourselves thrust out." (Luke 13:28)"For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise." (Gal.3:18)"By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, OBEYED... by faith he sojourned in the land of promise (THE PROMISED LAND), as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise..." (Heb.11:8-9)."Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the Truth of God, to CONFIRM THE PROMISES MADE UNTO THE FATHERS... Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with His people..." (Rom.15:8-10).The inheritance of Christians is the promises Christ gave to Abraham, the father of the faithful: the Kingdom of God on the earth... and eternal life.
Why did Abraham speak against God?
He didn't - He spoke for God and to God, but not against Him. He believed in God and God counted it unto him for righteousness. The book of Genesis tells Abraham's story and the Book of Romans speaks lots of Abraham's faith in God's promise and covenant.
What does Paul mean by imputed righteousness in Romans 4 verse 22?
Here (Romans 4) Paul takes up the case of Abraham because those who were teaching that Gentiles must become Jewish proselytes in order to be Christians based their claims on God's promise to Abraham, which were linked to the sign of circumcision: if one was not of the seed of Abraham by nature, he would have to become so by circumcision. Paul explains that the promise was given on the basis of Abraham's faith, while he was still uncircumcised. Thus, Abraham's heirs are those who have the same faith, rather than those who are circumcised. The grand thing to Abraham's life was his faith, not his circumcision. Paul goes on to say in v. 23-24 that it was not written for his (Abraham's) sake alone but for us also with the qualification that we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead. He's talking about faith here, not the law or any outward signs.

Is salvation one of the promise to a believer?
God swore two main promises to Abraham that's potentially transferrable to ALL OF MANKIND. To make of him and his descendants A GREAT NATION... and that THROUGH HIM [that is; the FAITH that he displayed through his actions] ALL THE NATIONS [families: all of mankind] OF THE EARTH WOULD BE BLESSED [that is; the promise of Salvation through the Messiah whose descent is traced through Abraham].Ultimately, the "Great Nation" promised to Abraham translates into the GOOD NEWS [gospel] of the COMING KINGDOM OF GOD, that only those who shall be saved through the Messiah's Salvation shall inherit and enter into.And only those who "BELIEVE" in the God of Abraham [who was and is Jesus Christ; the Almighty Creator God of the Old Testament - see John 1:3] or who in other words "possess the Faith of Abraham" may regard themselves as Abraham's children, and, subsequently, may consider themselves heirs of the Promise."Even as Abraham BELIEVED God... Know ye therefore that THEY WHICH ARE OF FAITH [that is: they who also BELIEVE God as Abraham did], THE SAME ARE THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM." (Gal.3:6"And IF YE BE CHRIST'S [who was and is Abraham's God], THEN ARE YE ABRAHAM'S SEED, and HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE..." (verse 29).If the Faith [the BELIEFS] of Abraham, therefore, is in you... then you are an HEIR of THE PROMISE OF SALVATION. Because Abraham is one of God's Heirs of His Kingdom... and His Salvation.
Who is the father of faith?
Abraham!
