Abraham Laughed

Abraham Laughed

Abraham laughed when God said he would have a son by his 90-year-old wife.

Genesis 17:15–17 “Then God said to Abraham, “As for your wife Sarai, you shall not call her by the name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. I will bless her, and indeed I will give you a son by her. Then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her.” Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Will a child be born to a man a hundred years old? And will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth to a child?” (NASB 2020)

His faith wasn’t perfect.
But Paul says Abe's faith never wavered.

Romans 4:19–22 “Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb; yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform. Therefore, IT WAS ALSO CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” (NASB 2020)

No fault was found.
That's because God counted as righteousness what faith Abe did have.
Whatever God says must be true.
So it is with you, Saint.
Be fully assured.
