Old Woman Has Baby

Romans 4:20 He [Abraham] staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.

The promise was that God would supernaturally cause Abraham and Sarah to have a son and name him Isaac. When the promise was first given, Abraham was 75. It must have looked impossible when he was 99, yet his faith did not waver.

He might have said, "I'm just too old," or "Sara is all shriveled up like a prune." Was it a cruel joke being played on two old people to make them look stupid?

No. God gave him a promise, and he believed it. At the age of 90, Sarah gave birth to Isaac. Abraham was 100.

Real faith rests in the knowledge that God will do exactly as He promised. He is still as able to move with power as He ever was.

Abraham acted on God's promise and it was declared righteous by God. He was saved by faith, the same as any person is today.

Our faith stands upon two great pillars of truth: Jesus dying for our sins and His resurrection. If you can believe with your heart those truths, then you can be saved from Hell.
