“And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:”
Romans 4:19 KJV
Paul, writing to the believers in Rome explains about Abraham’s faith that inspite of being nearly one hundred years old when the promise of having a son was made, his faith was so strong that it could not be undermined by the fact that he and Sarah were incapable of conceiving a child. Abraham’s faith would have been nullified if he were to take his own age and the deadness of Sarah’s womb into account, but this did not distract him in the least! He finally knew that no contribution from their side could possibly assist God in fulfilling His Promise - Abraham, “the father of the multitudes”; and Sarah - “mother of nations, kings of peoples shall come from you!” Every time they addressed one another they spoke the Promise of God. Jesus is the Amen and the Faithful to all His Promises to us in the new covenant. Let’s make bold declarations of God’s Promises to us in Christ Jesus! Amen!
