“Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.”
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.' Abraham's faith operates against natural probability: his body was as good as dead, and Sarah was barren. Yet he believed in hope—trusted God's promise despite circumstances that should have made it impossible. His faith became generative; he became the father of many nations.
