Abraham was a righteous servant of God. Just as a meek servant obeys his master without objection, Abraham obeyed God. However, God wanted Abraham to be more than a mere servant. He took Abraham as ‘His friend.’ (Isaiah 41:8) So Abraham became known as ‘God’s friend.’ (James 2:23)
Isaac as the seed of Abraham was pictorial of Christ, through whom everlasting blessings come. As it is written: “Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It says, not: ‘And to seeds,’ as in the case of many such, but as in the case of one: ‘And to your seed,’ who is Christ.” And by extension, Isaac was also pictorial of those who “belong to Christ,” who “are really Abraham’s seed, heirs with reference to a promise.” (Ga 3:16, 29)

Father and son. Abraham is the man who the Hebrew people come from. Isaac is the promised child form his mother Sarah. Abraham was Abram until he was renamed.

Abram means “exalted father”; Abraham sounds like a Hebrew term that means “father of many.”
Isaac built an altar and worshiped the Lord.

Abraham is the first patriarch of the Jewish people. His line of descent passes through his son Isaac and through Isaac's son Jacob, renamed by God as Israel, from whom the twelve tribes of Israel arose. Read Genesis chapters 12 through 25 for an introduction.

God tested Abraham's loyalty by demanding he sacrifice Isaac to him. Just as Abraham was about to kill Isaac, God said, "Hey, Abe, just kiddin. Take this ram instead."
Of course, if god were omniscient he'd have known Abraham would have gone through with the killing of his only son.
