Romans
The Faith of Abraham (continued)
9 Now, is this blessing only for the Jews, or is it also for uncircumcised Gentiles?[a] Well, we have been saying that Abraham was counted as righteous by God because of his faith. 10 But how did this happen? Was he counted as righteous only after he was circumcised, or was it before he was circumcised? Clearly, God accepted Abraham before he was circumcised!
11 Circumcision was a sign that Abraham already had faith and that God had already accepted him and declared him to be righteous—even before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the spiritual father of those who have faith but have not been circumcised. They are counted as righteous because of their faith. 12 And Abraham is also the spiritual father of those who have been circumcised, but only if they have the same kind of faith Abraham had before he was circumcised.
13 Clearly, God’s promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God’s law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith. 14 If God’s promise is only for those who obey the law, then faith is not necessary and the promise is pointless. 15 For the law always brings punishment on those who try to obey it. (The only way to avoid breaking the law is to have no law to break!)
Proverbs
A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children,
    but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.
23 An unplowed field produces food for the poor,
    but injustice sweeps it away.

Should you save and have an inheritance for your grandchildren or should you not stop up your not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
God declared Abraham righteous because of his right relationship with God through his belief and faith in God.
The law is being replaced with a relationship.
The law is like a mirror, because the law shows us our imperfections. 
Many believe that if they have done more good  
Are you good enough to go to heaven?
