Abraham demonstrated both faith in God as well as obedience. He also demonstrated great patience as the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham were a long time in coming to fruition and were theoretically impossible.
The good characteristics of Abraham in the story is his ultimate obedience to the Lord. The story began when Abraham really wanted to have a child. He is 100+ years old when
the Lord gave him a son. This is his only son. When the Lord commanded him to offer his son, he do so willingly without any hesitation, even if this is his only son. That made him very obedient.
