Abraham was given a promise from God that his off spring would inherit the land of Cannan as a reward for his belief and faithfulness. Paganized Christianity has brought this up many times as a means to teach another Gospel with other rules that are more pleasing to the; however, God does not see it that way. His promises are always contingent on the actions of the host. There is always a narrow road that has to be followed in order for that promise to be fulfilled. In the case of Abraham we need to see for ourselves why he deserved the promise in the first place.
Gen 26:5
5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

These two are the words charge and statutes. Now, if you believe that Abraham did nothing but spare Isaac, you are mistaken. God the Son, the one who speaks to us, told Isaac exactly why his father was shown so much favor with God and why the promise was given in the first place.
