Father Abraham has...

the heart of a true pastor, not looking to himself, but clinging; "to the promise of eternal life."

AELW 2:397

"Thus you see that the holy patriarch Abraham is endowed with all virtues. For the sake of his nephew Lot he serves in utmost love those who were unworthy of his kindnesses. When he has achieved the victory, he is not eager to increase his wealth and power but has a heart that is free of ambition, greed, and other lusts; and he clings only to the promise of eternal life and to the Possessor of heaven and earth."
