How do we know that Abraham is a type of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Abraham's life and actions mirror the work and character of Christ, confirming him as a type of Christ.

Scripture presents Abraham not only as the father of the faithful but also as a type of Christ. Just as Christ left the splendor of heaven for a world steeped in sin, Abraham was called to abandon a land of idolatry for the promise of Canaan. This typology underscores the notion that the Old Testament figures prefigure Christ’s redemptive journey. Furthermore, as God promises Abraham, 'in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed' (Genesis 12:3), it establishes a direct connection to Jesus, who is the ultimate fulfillment of this promise in bringing salvation to all nations.
