Best Answer

It is stated explicitly in Genesis 22:1.


Abraham's tests:

Abraham was persecuted and endangered by Nimrod for speaking against idolatry. His wife was abducted by Pharaoh (Genesis ch.12) and by Avimelekh the Philistine (Genesis ch.20). He was compelled to go into battle to rescue his nephew (Genesis ch.14). He was tested by God to see whom he loved more: his son Isaac, or God (Genesis ch.22). And his wife was barren for many decades (Genesis ch.11, 15 and 16). Also, until he built up a circle of disciples, he was alone as a monotheist in a sea of idolaters.See also:
