520 | |a Abraham was justified by God because of his faith alone before he received the sign of circumcision which was then kept by the Israelites, his descendants. According to Paul and later Luther, justified Christians who were not born as Jews are similar to Abraham, although they more specifically believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior. Without any creeds of Judaism or Christianity, Abraham’s conception of God was not deep and abstract as today’s theology allows, but his experience was recorded in the Genesis by Moses under oral tradition and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Many present Christians worldwide hold that despite their own limited understanding of God and his revelation in the Bible which has been fully written, they are justified or may be justified, so they are comparable to Abraham. The righteousness of God never changes. Not only can we comprehend the gradual revelation of God in the Bible, but we also can study the consistence of faith and righteousness in the Old and New Testament through Abraham, and thus we can better understand the justification faith through grace of Luther who holds a realistic view on the concept of church as does Paul. Compared with the faith defined by Aquinas who represents the medieval standard, the one defined by Luther is more consistent with what the Apostle Paul teaches. In conclusion, the paper supports the translation of the Bible with realism. | ||
