God has forgiven all of Abraham's sins because :
1)Abraham has devoted his life for God
2)Abraham has destructed all idols or statues which have been made by his father for worshipping all of his tribe except the biggest one.Whe his fathar (Azzar)asked him for its explanation,he told that the biggest one destroyed the the others.It is an evidence that all statues had no power at all.
3)Abraham prayed to God that he hoped his descendants would be shaleh or pirtuous peopleGod agreed his prayer.
4)Abraham appointed by God as prophet so all his sins have been forgiven by God.He saved by God when he was taken into a very hot and big fire by the King of Namrudz,because he was angry that Abraham did not follow the King's religion
(paganism)
5)Abraham was the father of all prophets after him.Abraham was very loved by God because he was so obedient. and loved God very much too.

Love.
Understanding that "we are but dust".
Also - he protected his own promise to Abraham that Abraham's seed would become a great nation - leading to the Messiah. God remained loyal to his own covenant with Abraham.

His faith.
Romans 4:3 For what does the Scripture say? "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."
