Answered in 1 source
Abraham's faith showed confidence in God's promises, leading to justification and an eternal inheritance.
Abraham's faith serves as a prime example of trusting in God's comprehensive promises, extending far beyond mere earthly inheritance. God's declaration to Abraham, 'I will bless you,' signifies a spiritual reality that encompasses salvation through Christ. Romans 4:11 designates Abraham as the father of all believers, highlighting that through faith, he received righteousness by believing God's promises regarding the coming Messiah. Thus, his faith became the assurance of things hoped for, corresponding to the ultimate fulfillment of God's covenant in Christ, establishing Abraham not only as a progenitor of a nation but as a participant in the redemptive plan of God.
