Connection with Abram believing God
Paul reaches back to Genesis 15, the night Abram counted the stars, to explain how anyone is put right with God: "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." Paul adds that this was written for us too, who believe in the God who raised Jesus from the dead.

Paul quotes Genesis 15:6 here, and again in Galatians 3:6, to show that God has always put people right with Himself the same way, by trusting what He says. The crediting was written down, he adds, "for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead" (Romans 4:24).
