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."
