He had no reason to hope for this, but he had been told, “Your children will become many nations.” ^(A) ¹⁹Abraham was about one hundred years old.

His faith was not weak when he thought of his wife Sarah being past the age of having children. ²⁰Abraham did not doubt God’s promise. His faith in God was strong, and he gave thanks to God.
