Firstly God changed his name from Abram to Abraham that means Father of Many. Another reason is that people at the time only worshipped many Gods and nobody believe in just one God making him the first monotheist. Another reason is that he was promised to have many descendants, all of whom would follow his techings making him the father of all who believed in one God. By Rebecca Markham
