Willpower 4

Think, if we do, we live but, if we "do-not" (or sin), then we see death.

That's why it’s called the Law of Sin & Death because we will sin (all have sinned), & Romans 6:23 states that the result of sin is death.
God says, "I regarded them not" in Hebrews 8:9-10.  Jesus' covers the sins before His Resurrection in Hebrews 9:15.  Meaning, before & after, we're covered. See Ezekiel 20:11-25.
Now, Genesis 26:5 states that Abraham was obedient to God’s Laws, & this was hundreds of years before the genesis of our faith was formed into a religion given to Moses.

But Abraham isn’t considered righteous just because he kept the Law…is he? Genesis 15:6 depicts the model example of righteousness “by faith“.
So, Abram (later Abraham) made the 1st & most important step, to decide to submit to God from a circumcised heart.

This proves that what counts to God is a made up mind, which is faith, then later, we see Abram's faith by what he agreed to do (which is works).  Abram's decision (faith) is recognized by God as an action (works), meaning, in this case, all Abram had to do was believe.

Righteousness is “to do right”, & the substance in Abraham’s heart, was a mark, a sign, & a seal of doing-right, even while all Abram did, was in his mind.
