Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness. Genesis 15:6 Although Abram had been demonstrating his faith through his actions, it was his belief in the Lord, not his actions, that made Abram right with God see Romans 4:1-5. We too can have a right relationship with God by trusting Him. Our outward actions--church attendance, prayer, good deeds--will not by themselves makes us right with God. A right relationship is based on faith (see Ephesians 2:8-9/Romans 10:9)--the heartfelt inner confidence that God is who He is and does what He says He will do. Right actions will follow naturally as by-products. From Life Application Bible Study.
