And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
Abraham obtained the promise after he had patiently endured, endurance coming first and attainment following it. His example makes patient waiting the path by which the promised blessing is secured. Believers are therefore to hold their confidence steadfast to the end rather than letting it go. They are to persevere in faith as he did, continuing firmly until the promise is realized.
