He exhibited repentance, in other words.
And I don’t doubt other tribes of ancient people, knowing of Abraham, may have glorified him, even going so far as to say he was “a god”. But obviously I don’t believe that they were *correct*. He wasn’t *really* a “god”.
There were Greeks in the Book of Acts who wrongly concluded Sts. Paul and Barnabas were “gods” until they set the record straight.
Abraham wasn’t around to set the record straight, though, amongst later men that glorified him.
The *correct* understanding of a glorified man, is as a Saint. Their lives have become so Sanctified, they clearly reflect Divine Grace - so God is glorified in them. I argue *this* was more the case with Abraham.
