You say God has credited your faith as righteousness, then you obligated to do the whole law, for Faith by the natural man is law Matt 23:23
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Faith in God is One of the weightier matters of the Law. So good luck with that.
See God has credited to me Christ as my righteousness and then revealed it to me in God given Faith, by Faith I realize Christ has been imputed to me for my Righteousness.

BF I have seen you make some really of the wall comments but this has got to e the wildest one yet.
"Faith in God is One of the weightier matters of the Law."
You r false religion has so twisted your brain that you do not even know when you make illogical statements.
Be saved through Faith and trying to be saved through the Law are polar opposites BF.
If you do not know that how could you possibly understand the weightier things of God?

And as is usual for you you have completely misunderstood what the verse is saying BF.
I have to wonder what your reading skill level is when you cannot even understand a clear sentence like this one.
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Its obvious Faith in God is a Law obligation. Its part of the command to Love God with all your heart, in fact in the Luke account of this scenario the word Love is used in place of Faith Lk 11:42
But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
So good luck with your law faith as your righteousness.

Tell me something I didnt already know
John 3:18
“The one who believes into Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed into the name of the uniquely divine Son of God.
What aspects of Christ's attributes are in view here? As Lord and Savior!
If you review Romans 4:19-22 you will see that Abraham actually believed God would fulfill His promise (that he would be the father of many nations, Romans 4:18) which resulted in God crediting Abraham's faith as righteousness.
And, if you continue reading, Romans 4:23 and following, you see the action of God crediting faith as righteousness was not only for Abraham's benefit, but also for the future benefit of those who believe God raised Jesus from the dead, and believe Jesus was sacrificed for our wrongdoings, and believe His sacrifice provided justification into eternal life. Or in other words, the name of Jesus Christ, or as John put it, the name of the uniquely divine Son of God.
The gospel of Christ!
