Abraham was the founding father of the Covenant between the Jewish people and God. Judaism is the forerunner to Christianity. Abraham (a descent from Noah) is in the lineage (through Isaac) to Jesus. Also, when Abraham obeyed God by offering his son, Isaac, as a sacrifice (also mentioned in Hebrews 11:17–19), it is seen as a prophetic foreshadow of the promise of the Lamb of God (Jesus) sacrificed for us.
