The true LORD God made a covenant (promise) to Abraham (Genesis 17:8): “And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.” In Genesis 17:19: “And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.”
Abraham could not believe what God said because he was a hundred years old and Sarah, 90. Not only were they “old and well stricken in age, and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women (menstruation)” (Genesis 18:11).
Did Sarah conceive and bear a son? Yes, indeed. Is it impossible to God to make an old, barren woman to conceive and give birth to a child? No.
