Answer:
He possessed a measure of "faith"... and "believed" and "obeyed" what God said to him.
"...Abram BELIEVED the LORD, and He credited it to him as righteousness." (Gen. 15:6 NIV)
"By FAITH Abraham, when called to go to a place he would receive later as his inheritance, OBEYED and went, even though he did not know where he was going." (Heb.11:8 NIV)
"...'He BELIEVED God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.' Understand, then, that those who BELIEVE are children of Abraham... So those who have FAITH are blessed along with Abraham, the MAN OF FAITH." (Gal.3:7-9 NIV)

You can find it in the book of Genesis. (Gen. 11) God calls upon Abram because he obeys God and will become one of God's favorite people. God tells Abram to do something, and he will do it. He almost sacrifices his own son! Later, God changes Abram's name to Abraham.

That He would make of him a great nation.
It is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible whether Terah, Abram's father, believed in God. However, Terah's family was from a region known for idol worship, so it is likely that he may have been influenced by these beliefs. It was Abram who later became the patriarch of monotheistic faith in God.
