Contextual Overview
17 As it is written, I have made you a father of many peoples, in the presence of the God in whom you have believed, who quickens the dead, and who invites those who are not yet in being, as though they were present. 18 For he who was hopeless trusted in hope, that he might become the father of many peoples, as it is written, So shall your seed be. 19 His faith never weakened even when he examined his old body when he was a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah''s womb. 20 He did not doubt the promise of God as one who lacks faith; but his faith gave him strength, and he gave glory to God. 21 He felt assured that what God had promised him, God was able to fulfill. 22 Therefore it was given to him for righteousness.

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.
