“The Bible doesn’t tell us how much Abraham knew, but he certainly believed that God was going to provide a way of salvation for mankind.”
Is that what God told him?
Now who’s making up stuff.
God was very clear with what he promised Abraham.
He promised Abraham the following:
1, that his descendents would be as numerous as the sand on the shore.
2, that they would reside in Israel, in the land between the Nile and Euphrates.

Wrong again.
Genesis 12:3 - “I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and IN YOU ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH WILL BE BLESSED.”
Hebrews 11:8 - “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance.”
Abraham went as a result of his faith, not the other way around.
So now two questions for you.
1. What is justification?
2. How is a man justified in the sight of God?
