This was credited to him as faith.How do we know if our faith is genuine or not? We can determine this by asking whether we are obeying or acting in accordance to the word of God.
This is because the life of a saved person’s faith will be followed by works.

20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend.
