<p>4:24&nbsp;<i>But for our sake also</i><i>, to whom it shall be counted</i>- In that Abraham was being consciously set up as our example; and the record of Abraham&rsquo;s justification by faith is purposefully designed, Paul seems to be inferring, to inspire us to a similar faith.</p><p><i>Who believe in Him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead</i>- Our faith is that God will justify us by His grace. But as Paul will now go on to show (see on 5:1), that position of being declared right with God will be articulated in our being given eternal life. This means in practice that we will be resurrected as Jesus was, and given eternal life. So our belief in God is a belief in the God of resurrection, who resurrected Jesus our representative, in whom, through faith and baptism into His death and resurrection, we shall also be resurrected to eternal life.</p>
