...who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he
became the father of many nations, according to what was
spoken, “So shall your descendants be.”
Romans 4:18
The story of Abraham’s standing on God’s promises
(despite huge contrary evidences) would not be complete
without the introduction of the act of the covenant. God had
to substantiate His promises with an oath. This oath
equipped Abraham with the ability to stay firm on his new
supernatural hope and leave the natural dead hope
completely behind. Abraham did not waver or consider his
“body now dead.”
13For when God made a promise to Abraham,
because He could swear by no one greater, He
swore by Himself, 14saying, “Surely blessing I will
bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”
15And so, after he had patiently endured, he
obtained the promise. 16For men indeed swear by
the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for
them an end of all dispute. 17Thus God,
determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of
promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed
it by an oath.
Hebrew 6:13-17
