Gill's Notes on the Bible
And being fully persuaded,.... He had not only faith, a strong faith, but full assurance of faith:
that what he [God] had promised; though it was so long ago, and there were so many difficulties in the way;
he was able, being the Lord God Almighty,
to perform; so his faith rested upon the power of God, with whom nothing is impossible.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And being fully persuaded - Thoroughly or entirely convinced; Luke 1:1; Romans 14:5; 2 Timothy 4:5, 2 Timothy 4:17.
He was able - Compare Genesis 18:14. This was not the only time in which Abraham evinced this confidence. His faith was equally implicit and strong when he was commanded to sacrifice his promised son; Hebrews 11:19.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 21. And being fully persuaded — πληροφορηθεις, his measure: his soul was full of confidence, that the truth of God bound him to fulfil his promise and his power enabled him to do it.
