He withstood all tests and trials. There were many of them: He was persecuted and endangered by Nimrod for speaking against idolatry. His wife was abducted by Pharaoh (Genesis ch.12) and by Avimelekh the Philistine (Genesis ch.20). He was compelled to go into battle to rescue his nephew (Genesis ch.14). He was tested by God to see whom he loved more: his son Isaac, or God (Genesis ch.22). And his wife was barren for many decades (Genesis ch.11, 15 and 16).
He (God) promised the land of Israel (Canaan) to Abraham, and He promised to give Abraham many descendants (Genesis ch.17).
God called Abraham righteous because of his faith and obedience. Abraham trusted in God's promises, demonstrated by his willingness to leave his homeland and obey God's commands, such as when he was prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac. This faith and obedience showed Abraham's righteousness before God.

God told Abraham to sacrifice his only son got at the age of 100 years. But he was willing to do it.
Total trust in the LORD and His promises. He knew that whatever God commanded would result in Abraham's ultimate happiness. He didn't understand how that particular act could possibly make him happy, but he trusted God more than he trusted his own thoughts. Turns out, Isaac did not have to be sacrificed. God was merely testing Abraham, and blessed him immensely for being willing to follow the commandments, even hard ones.
You can show that you can be trusted by doing things that show that you can be trusted. If you want someone too trust you do not to tell there secrets to anyone so that is one way you can be trusted.
The lineage of Esau is irrelevant to God's promise to Abraham, the promise will be fulfilled by Jesus Christ, who is of the lineage of Jacob, Esau's twin brother.
God commanded Abraham to leave his home and journey to a land that God would show him, promising to make him into a great nation and bless him. Abraham's faith in following God's command is a significant aspect of the story in the Bible.
Abraham
The phrase "trusted by God" does not appear anywhere in the KJV bible.
If you mean why did God ask Abraham to sacrifice Isaac then the answer is that He was not angry with either of them. We don't know specifically from the Bible text why God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son but we do know that Abraham does not even question the request. If we read carefully however we see that Abraham likely trusted that God would save Isaac somehow and his faith was rewarded when God provides an animal for the sacrifice instead. Some scholars believe that Abraham was asked to sacrifice Isaac as a test of his faith but others believe that the entire incident was a powerfully moving demonstration of God's desire that human sacrifice not be performed to honour Him. Many of the surrounding nations practiced child sacrifice and here God makes very clear the fact that that is not what He desires from his people.
It is called the "Covenant"-- the promise Abraham made with God, and God made with Abraham.
God chose Abraham because of God saw Abraham was worthy of a blessing and he had a clean heart.
