"And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. "

I love the way that the gospel is presented here: "In thee shall all nations be blessed. "

The surrounding scriptures speak about this being a matter of belief and of faith. Do people consider belief and faith to be the same or different in some way?

Scripture is equated with God in this passage...the scripture preached the gospel...and yet, it was God who preached the gospel...one cannot separate God from his word, nor the word from God.

Multiple passages of scripture connect salvation with being the end result of both belief and faith. (John 3:15,16,18, 6:40,47; Acts 10:43; 16:31; Romans 1:16; Romans 3:24-28; 4:5; 5:1; Ephesians 2:8; Philippians 3:9 etc..).
