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.
