Paul spent three Chapters describing in graphic detail both the sin of pagan Gentiles and self-righteous Jews. (Romans 1-3) All people are under the power of sin and need a positive righteousness that comes from Christ alone.
This imputed righteousness from Christ is justification whereby God legally declares us not guilty. There is no room for boasting because our salvation from first to last is an act of God’s sheer grace and mercy to sinners who only deserve condemnation in hell.
In Romans Chapter 4, Paul uses Abraham as an extended illustration to show that salvation comes by TRUSTING in Christ alone, not by works. 
In Genesis 15:6, Abraham believed the LORD, and it was counted to him as righteousness.
When we trust in Christ alone, we are also counted righteous by God's grace.
