daily word - reckoned?

What does the Bible say about Abraham? That he believed God and he was a righteous man? But there was that incident when he was willing to give up his wife to the king under false pretense to save his own skin. The Bible says of Abraham that he believed God and it was reckoned unto him as righteousness. Big difference. And so began the practice that you could be accepted by God for your beliefs as opposed to your conduct. This is a strong theme in the Bible, and the same deal is available to you, but I don’t want you to lose the distinction between reckoned and real righteousness.
