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:
Abraham's faith was rock solid, he didn't focus on the fact that he was around 100 years old with a body that was basically done, or that Sarah couldn't have kids anymore.
Real faith looks past what seems impossible and trusts God anyway.
📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative of Romans, the Apostle Paul is drawing from the story of Abraham in Genesis to illustrate the power of unwavering faith. Abraham was about 100 years old and considered his body as good as dead, while Sarah was also beyond childbearing age, yet God had promised them a son as part of His covenant. This context highlights how Abraham's faith served as a model for early Christians in Rome, showing that God's promises transcend human limitations.
