And being fully persuaded - πληροφορηθεις, his measure: his soul was full of confidence, that the truth of God bound him to fulfill his promise and his power enabled him to do it. (Dr. Adam Clarke)
"and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform." (NASB)
"And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform." (KJV)
"He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever He promises." (NLT)
"He was fully convinced that what God promised he was also able to do." (NET)
And being (s) fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
(s) A description of true faith. (Geneva Bible Study Notes)
We often struggle with the substance of true faith. What is faith and of what does it consist? Here we have the concise answer! God is able to make good on all of His promises. The greatest of all the promises is to "know Him." There is no greater joy!
"Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in Me….I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me. If you had really known Me, you would know who My Father is. From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him!...Those who accept My commandments and obey them are the ones who love Me. And because they love Me, My Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal Myself to each of them." (John 14:1, 6-7, 21)
