Abraham was very devoted.
Additional information:
He didn't, but he was willing to. Abraham was going to be the 'father of many nations' so God tested the quality of his faith(Genesis 22:1). Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son proved his faith and love for God(Genesis 26:4-5). Abraham recognized that, since Isaac was the one through whom a great nation and the Messiah would eventually come(Genesis 21:12; 17:5+6+19), he knew God could raise him from the dead if necessary(Daniel 12:2+13; Job 14:13-15; Psalm 16:10; Hosea 13:14; Isaiah 26:19)as there had been several examples demonstrated in history (1 Kings 17:21+22; 2 Kings 4:22-37; 2 Kings 13:20+21). This was attested to later in the Greek Scriptures(Hebrews 11:17-19+35)

∙ 13y agoAvraham didn't sacrifice Isaac. HaShem told him to but just as Avraham was about to sacrifice Issac, HaShem sent an angel to stop him. Instead, a ram was sacrificed. This is one of the instances in the Tanach (Jewish Bible) which illustrate that human sacrifice is forbidden.
