The pivotal characteristic of Abraham’s life and status before God was his ability to hear and obey. Disregarding his past successes and failures, he left everything behind to follow a voice that only promised to show him the destination once he was committed to the path. Being a child of Abraham does not merely mean being naturally descended from Abraham, or all the sons of Ishmael would also be considered Jews; rather it is reserved for only those who sensitize their ears and resolve in their hearts to follow God in the footsteps of faithful Abraham.
