“Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had

been said to him, ‘So shall your offspring be.’ Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his

body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was

also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was

strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God…” Romans 4:18-20, NIV
