Abram was faithful and YHVH counted it as righteousness
*[[Gen 15:6]] KJV* And he believed (aman) in YHVH; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Abraham was righteous because he was faithful in keeping the laws statutes and commandments of YHVH
*[[Gen 26:5]] KJV* Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws
*[[Deu 6:24-25]] KJV* And YHVH commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear YHVH our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before YHVH our God, as he hath commanded us.
James ties it all together in context
*[[Rom 4:3]] KJV* For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed (was faithful to) God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
*[[Gal 3:6-7]] KJV* Even as Abraham believed (was faithful to) God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are (faithful) of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
*[[Jas 2:23-24]] KJV* And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed (was faithful to) God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Who are the dogs outside the city? Rev 22:14-15
The city of YHVH comes to the new earth.
Hell and death are destroyed.
The devil and all that followed them are gone.
Hell and death are destroyed.
The devil and all that followed them are gone.
Who then are the dogs outside the city?
*[[Rev 22:14-15]] KJV* Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

What is salvation?
Isn't it being saved from hell?
But the kingdom is the inheritance of those who hear and OBEY.
There seems (at least from what I'm seeing) to be a promise of "salvation" to the seed of Abraham, and to anyone that claims Yeshua or Jesus as Lord or master.
But there is also a difference between being "saved" from hell, and inheriting the kingdom of YHVH
*[[Mat 7:22-27]] KJV* Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
I want more than just being saved from eternal torment in hell, I want to inherit the kingdom of YHVH
