📚 Historical Context
In the book of Romans, the Apostle Paul is writing to early Christians in Rome to demonstrate that Abraham was declared righteous by his faith in God's promises, not by his own efforts. Paul draws from the Old Testament story in Genesis, where God promised Abraham he would become the father of many nations despite his advanced age and Sarah's barrenness. This verse specifically praises Abraham for not doubting God's word, using him as a model for believers under the new covenant.
