Hebrews 11:11-12

Hebrews 11:11-12

[11] Through faith  also  Sara  herself  received  strength  to  conceive  seed,  and  when she was past  age,  because  she judged  him faithful  who had promised.  [12] Therefore  sprang there  even  of  one,  and  as good as dead,  so many as  the stars  of the sky  in multitude,  and  the sand  which  is by  the sea  shore  innumerable. 

What does Hebrews 11:11-12 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Sarah believed God would fulfill His promise and provide something (a child) totally beyond the realm of natural possibility. God wants us, too, to believe that. God rewarded her faith far beyond what she imagined, and He will reward ours in the same way (cf. Romans 8:18; 2 Corinthians 4:17-18).
