Well, to me, reading about Abraham in the bible, he was an unlikely candidate for God's favor.
Some words from Joshua 24:2 Discribing his past and forfathers profiles.

Joshua said to all the people, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Long ago your forefathers, including Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the River and worshipped other gods."

This shows that Abraham grew up in a home that practiced idolatry. It is likely that Abraham had no real "faith" until God chose him to be the Father of the faithful.

He was a pagan yet God chose him. In fact, we see clearly that, as we read the Biblical testimony, it seems to be the way God
usually works. Hence it was not stated in the bible why God chosed him, we ought not to question God, his ways are not our
way. God can call anyone no matter his state. There are certain things not told in the bible for reasons we don't know.

Well said, but could it also have to do Noah his forefather who also heard from God, about the distruction of the earth with water.

Numbers 12:1-10 (KJV)

1And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

2And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it. God hear when we speak both evil or good with our mouth or heart

3(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)

4And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the
congregation. And they three came out. they heard him openly
Have you considered the fact that Abraham family, his father was an idol worshiper, it was not as thou his father worshiped God, my question is what gave him that environment for God to have chosen him.

5And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.

6And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. @Jaogbage has already mentioned VISION AND DREAMS. now take not of what God said in verse 7 and 8

7[i]My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.

8With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?[/i]God said he speaks with MOSES mouth to mouth even Apparently, Whaoo, what a wonderful God we sarve, Moses was a special servant of God so was Abraham, they hear the voice of God the way u hear someone talk to u.

9And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.

10And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

Sorry I build my theology around Jesus Christ not a so called MOG.

You guys are the main reason why false prophets exist and proliferate their poison all over Nigeria.

You deserve to be deceived because you have forsaken the guide of your youth ( Christ ) for a so called specially anointed wolf MOG.
May God open your eyes

From my understanding mr frosbel it your eyes that needs to be open, as it has being blinded by theology
