Romans 4:21 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 4:21

And being fully persuaded
He had not only faith, a strong faith, but full assurance of faith:

that what he [God] had promised;
though it was so long ago, and there were so many difficulties in the way;

he was able,
being the Lord God Almighty,

to perform;
so his faith rested upon the power of God, with whom nothing is impossible.

Romans 4:21 In-Context

19 Abraham was almost a hundred years old, much past the age for having children, and Sarah could not have children. Abraham thought about all this, but his faith in God did not become weak.

20 He never doubted that God would keep his promise, and he never stopped believing. He grew stronger in his faith and gave praise to God.

21 Abraham felt sure that God was able to do what he had promised.

22 So, "God accepted Abraham's faith, and that faith made him right with God."

23 Those words ("God accepted Abraham's faith") were written not only for Abraham
