In the Bible, Abraham questions God as to how many innocent people would be needed to save Sodom from destruction.
The story about Abraham nearly sacrificing his son to God is similar to God's offering his only son to save us.
Lot was a member of Abraham's family. It was only because of Abraham's righteousness (and intercession with God) that Lot was saved. On the other hand, Lot's wife looked back, wanting what she had left nehind - and as a result she, too, died.
It is called the "Covenant"-- the promise Abraham made with God, and God made with Abraham.
Abraham never "saved" the ancient Hebrews. He established them.
God chose Abraham because of God saw Abraham was worthy of a blessing and he had a clean heart.
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.
God didn't promise Abraham anything. God just told him to sacrifice his son Isaac and Abraham, being obedient to God, was going to do what God told him to do. That is until God stopped him. God was seeing if Abraham would still be willing to obey God even if it meant killing his only son.
Abraham promised to god that he would only worship one god. P.S. you misspelled Abraham : )
he wasn't... he wasnt the king of anything... he was a a Patriarch.Answer:Tradition teaches that God chose Abraham after Abraham chose God. Abraham was the first person to reject idolatry and its concomitant immorality. He taught people that God is One.
It says, God spoke to Abraham and commanded him to take his son to Mount Moriah and offer him as a sacrifice to God. This was God's test of Abraham's faith. Abraham loved his son very much, but did not hesitate to follow God's words for he was a man whose faith in God was strong. As Abraham and his son reached the place where the sacrifice was to be performed, Isaac said to his father, "Father, where is the lamb that is to be sacrificed?" Abraham replied, "My son, God will provide the lamb". Because, Abraham was honest to his God, his son was also honest to his father Abraham.
