[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Abraham . . . came to be called[/FONT] “[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Jehovah’s friend.â€â€”Jas. 2:23.[/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif][/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]
Abraham was a man who [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]“put faith in Jehovah.†[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]In fact, he is[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] called[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] “the father of all those having[/FONT]
​

[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]faith.†(Gen. 15:6; Rom. 4:11) [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]In faith, Abraham left his home,[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] his friends, and his possessions to[/FONT]
​

[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]go to a distant land. [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif](Gen. 12:1-4; Heb. 11:8-10)[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] Abraham’s faith[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] was still strong many years later.[/FONT]
​

[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]
This was evident when he [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]“as good as offered up Isaacâ€[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] his son[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] in obedience to Jehovah’s command.[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] [/FONT](Heb. 11:17-19)
[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]
Abraham[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] demonstrated faith in Jehovah’s[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] promises, so God viewed him as[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] special; he really knew Abraham.[/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif](Gen. 18:19)[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] Jehovah was[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] not merely aware of Abraham’s[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] existence; he cherished Abraham[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] as a friend.

It is noteworthy that[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] Abraham did not during his lifetime[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] receive the inheritance of[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] the land promised to him. Yet, he[/FONT]
​

[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]maintained strong faith in Jehovah[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] and lived his life in harmony[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] with that faith.[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif][/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] (Heb. 11:13)[/FONT]
​

[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]
Are we known by Jehovah as having[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] faith similar to Abraham’s ?[/FONT]

The text says : "In faith, Abraham left his home, his friends, and his possessions to go to a distant land."

If we take into consideration what's being discussed in another thread, that's not Abraham who left his home (...) or went to a distant land...

That's Abram who did it !
