No Old Testament person is mentioned more than Abraham in the New Testament except for Moses. Both individuals are the bedrock of Israel concerning God's purpose. Abraham the Gentile was the founder of the Jewish race.
Abram was a Gentile who God proclaimed to be righteous because of his faith. God declared Himself to be Abraham's "exceedingly great reward" because of this trust. Before the Covenant of Circumcision, his name was Abram meaning "father." After the covenant, his name meant "father of many."
