Guys,
I think most people understand Abraham's conversion to have happened with Genesis 12, but the verse that is so important for understanding justification doesn't come until later, in Genesis 15:6, "Then he believed in the Lord; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness." Had he not believed in the Lord a good bit before this? Does anyone know the main ways that this has been explained in the past? Many thanks,
JB
