"Against all hope, Abraham, in hope, believed and so became the father of many nations, just as he had been told, 'So shall your offspring be.'" (Romans 4:18)
Abraham lacked any evidence that he would become the father of many nations. Logic argued otherwise; the current situation failed to inspire hope, and the circumstances were far from encouraging.
But he had God's promise and the resulting faith. Therefore, he believed against all hope. Doctors could provide proof that having a child at a hundred years old was impossible, that a woman who had been barren at a young age could not bear children after passing the age of childbearing. However, Abraham knew that it would be as God had told him.
If there is a promise from heaven, it requires faith on our part, and as a result, a miracle will happen.
