There are four times the Jewish scriptures mention instances when through something particular, righteousness was/is counted (imputed on) to an individual. Only in the first instance is it faith. In all of the other three instances, it is directly associated with DOING G-ds will on earth. 1. Genesis 15:6 and Abraham believed in G-d and it was counted to him as righteousness. 2. Deuteronomy 6:25 and it shall be righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before the L-rd our G-d as He has commanded us. 3. Deuteronomy 24:13 you shall surely return to him the pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless you, and it shall be righteousness unto you before the L-rd your G-d. 4. Psalm 106:30-31 then stood up Phinehas, and wrought judgement, and so the plague was stayed. And that was counted onto him for righteousness, onto all generations for ever. With regards to Abraham himself, although one of his hallmarks was his faith and trust in G-d, nevertheless, when we read in scripture about why he was chosen, scripture doesnt mention faith. Genesis 18:17-19 and the L-rd said: shall I hide from Abraham that which I am doing; 18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 because I have known him, that he will command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the L-rd, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that the L-rd may bring upon Abraham that which He has spoken of Him. Similarly in Genesis 26:4-5 and I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto your seed all these lands; and by your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 5 because that Abraham hearkened to My voice, and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws. It is quite clear from the above that obedience to G-d is the path to righteousness. At the same times this does not detract from the importance of faith and trust. On the contrary, it is only through faith and trust that one will truly live a life of obedience to G-d. It was Abrahams faith and trust that motivated his immediate compliance to G-ds directive to offer up his son on mount Moriah.
