Good Day !
We should look at the Apostle Paul's example's, Abraham who is The Father of FAITH concerning this matter.
(Gal 3:5) He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
(Gal 3:6) Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
------
Rom 4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
Rom 4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Rom 4:22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Rom 4:23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

God imputes HIS righteousness to those who believe.
Abraham, who was called out by God, believed God was going to bless him a son at 75 years of age, wife Sarah barren...
Was Abraham obedient in all things, nay, but the focus of his FAITH did not waver..
He simply took God at His word and God declared Him righteous:
