Why did God called Abraham righteous?

God called Abraham righteous because of his faith and obedience. Abraham trusted in God's promises, demonstrated by his willingness to leave his homeland and obey God's commands, such as when he was prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac. This faith and obedience showed Abraham's righteousness before God.


What was the primary difference between Luther's and Augustine's?

I assume this question means to ask, what is the difference between Augustine's and Luther's theology? The primary difference between the two was their understainding of justification. Augustine did not know Greek, and so read the Bible in Latin. As such, he took justification to mean "to make righteous." Augustine believed that God enacted salvation inside of man. That when a man is converted, their will is changed so that they lvove God and man, and they are only patially righteous. By doing good works in faith the Christian becomes more righteous. Unfortunately this is a very dangerous understanding of justification. Augustine mixed justification and sanctification. This view of justification unfortunately allows room for the Christian to doubt his salvation and undermines the Gospel. Luther believed in forensic justification, that is, that justification takes place outside of man. He understood that the Greek word for "justify" meant "to declare righteous." He believed that immediately upon conversion the Christian was fully righteous in God's sight. He believed that God the Father declares the believer righteous, just, pure, and holy, for the sake of His Son, Jesus Christ. So, for Luther (and according to the Scriptures), the Christian is simultaniously fully sinner, but also fully righteous through faith. Luther did not deny sanctification. He believed sanctification, also called "renewal" occured at the same time as justification. You could not have one without the other. However, he kept them distinguished and emphasized the difference between the two. Justification is the sinner being declared righteous for Christ's sake, and is what saves him alone. Sanctification is the "fruit" of justification and the result of having faith. The Christian does good works because he has faith, but these works do not in any way make the Christian more righteous in God's sight.


What did Abraham pray on behalf of the people of sodem?

Abraham did not pray for all of the wicked people at Sodom but only the righteous. He started asking the Lord "If there were but ten righteous will you spare Sodom" Finally he asked that if only two could be found but all were wicked except for Lot and his family.


What are the characteristics of the kingdom of God?

General characteristics * * Everlasting (Hebrews 1:8) Unshakeable (Hebrews 12:28) * Superior to Satan's kingdom (Mark 16:17, Philippians 2:9-11) * Greatness in the kingdom measured by: 1. Obedience to God (Matthew 5:19) 2. Servanthood (Matthew 20:25-28, Matthew 23:11, Mark 10:45) like Jesus. 3. Humility (Matthew 18:3-4) So what should this righteousness look like? In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus paints for us a picture of the importance of righteousness and what it should look like in the kingdom of God. "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:10). The heavenly kingdom belongs to the righteous. Then He goes on to say "You are the salt of the earth. … You are the light of the world" (Matthew 5:13-14). Jesus is saying here that we should let our purity and righteousness affect, influence, and impact this world. This will produce either persecution, "… when you are mocked and persecuted and lied about because you are my followers" (Matthew 5:11); or fruit, "… everyone will praise your heavenly Father" (Matthew 5:16). In verse 17 Jesus says that He came to fulfill the Law and the Prophets, which means to fulfill all righteousness. And then in verse 20 He declares, "… unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:20). When Jesus made that comment I believe everyone's jaws dropped open as they wondered "How can I possibly live a life superior to them?" But Jesus was talking about a whole different type of righteousness. Not a righteousness put on from the outside, but a righteousness that is lived out from the inside. As we have seen, Christ's victory on the Cross has made it so that we now stand in His righteousness, for we have become the righteousness of God. Following this in Matthew 5:21-7:12 Jesus gives us a revelation of what kingdom righteousness looks like. I would encourage you to study that, but here is a summary: • The righteous reconcile and speak life. • The righteous think upon what is good and abstain from sinful or enticing thoughts. • The righteous keep their covenants. • The righteous tell the truth and keep their word. • The righteous give to and serve others. • The righteous display the perfect love of God by blessing, loving, and praying for others - even those who are hateful. • The righteous do good and give without hypocrisy. • The righteous pray without hypocrisy. • The righteous forgive others. • The righteous fast unto God and not unto man. • The righteous give liberally to God, and keep God, not money, as their focus. • The righteous have faith in their faithful God and do not worry. • The righteous rightly honor spiritual things and are not judgmental. • The righteous continually press further into the kingdom by asking, seeking, and knocking. • The righteous treat others as they would want to be treated. This, and nothing less, is the righteousness of Christ that has been given to us!

Man in the stete of sin?

As we live in a sinful world we are constantly bombarded by the unholy. As Christ was the only sinless man on the face of the earth, and as we mortals are not yet anywhere near the state of righteousness that Christ was, we are susceptible to sin. There are no sinless men upon the earth for we have all sinned at some time in their lives. Even the most righteous of us. It is not only through our actions that we sin but also by our very thoughts.
