Hebrews 11:11
Arabic Bible ERV 2009
بِالإيمانِ نالَ إبراهِيمُ قُدرَةً عَلَى أنْ يُنجِبَ ابناً مَعَ أنَّ سارَة كانَتْ عاقِراً. وَمَعَ أنَّهُ تَعَدَّى سِنَّ الإنجابِ، إلّا أنَّهُ عَلِمَ أنَّ اللهَ الَّذِي وَعَدَهُ أمِينٌ.
What Does This Mean?
Hebrews 11:11 tells us about Sarah's faith in God, who promised her a son even when she was too old to have children. She believed and had Isaac as a result of her strong trust in God's promise.
Explained for Children
Imagine you really want an ice cream cone, but your parents say it’s not the right time yet. Sarah waited for a long time to have a baby, like waiting for that ice cream, and she believed in God even though it seemed impossible. She got her 'ice cream'—a son named Isaac!
Historical Background
The Book of Hebrews was written by an unknown author around the end of the first century AD. It was addressed to Jewish Christians who were considering abandoning their faith due to persecution and pressure from non-believing Jews.
Living It Out Today
In modern life, this verse encourages us not to give up on God’s promises when they seem impossible. Like Sarah, we can trust in God's timing and strength even if something seems beyond our reach.
