God created the world for righteousness, not just for eating, going to work and sleeping. There were righteous people before Abraham's time, but not one of them came near to his superlative level of piety (Talmud, Avot ch.5). Only after Abraham had served God for many decades, did God speak to him and bring him into His covenant.See also the Related Links.1) A biography of Abraham2) Jewish history timeline
He didn't - He spoke for God and to God, but not against Him. He believed in God and God counted it unto him for righteousness. The book of Genesis tells Abraham's story and the Book of Romans speaks lots of Abraham's faith in God's promise and covenant.

In the Bible, Abraham questions God as to how many innocent people would be needed to save Sodom from destruction.
