What did god promise to Abraham if he killed Isaac?
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.
Did Abraham know that God was going to provide another sacrifice so he would not have to kill his son?
A:Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that in a strange way the passage about Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son speaks more about God's faith in Abraham than Abraham's faith in God. Kass also cites an insightful comment from a student he taught at his university. If you say that Abraham, when he goes up Mount Moriah, neither hopes nor believes in the slightest that Isaac will somehow be saved or restored at the end of it all - if you say that Abraham has resigned himself wholly to the loss of his son Isaac - then you must also say . . . that Abraham is here offering Isaac to a God whom Abraham believes to be a liar. For did not God promise that "it is through Isaac that offspring shall be called for you (Genesis 21:12)?

Why was Abraham important?
A:The biblical story of Abraham is an epic tale of a wandering man and his God, who is reported to have promised the land of Canaan to Abraham's successors. Arguably the most important thing that Abraham did was to be the first Patriarch, the father of those who would, it was said, inherit the promise to Abraham. On the other hand, scholars have almost universally abandoned the stories of Abraham and the biblical patriarchs as non-historical. His importance to the Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths was such that hundreds of new stories were written about Abraham, beginning around the third century BCE.Another Answer:The short answer is, when God called Abram/Abraham, he obeyed fully:Genesis 26:5 (New International Version (NIV):5 because Abraham obeyed me and did everything I required of him, keeping my commands, my decrees and my instructions."
