Paul uses the Old Testament to demonstrate that salvation is by faith and not by works. He cites the life of Abraham who, the Bible says, was found righteous because of his faith, not because of his good deeds, obedience to the law, or following rituals. It is the same today; we are saved when we put our trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ. We are saved by faith, from first to last.
