God made a covenant with Abram, "My covenant is with you and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations." God renamed him Abraham and Sarai Sarah, then promised them a son. The men in his household were circumcised.
"From the very beginning, God had in view that Jesus Christ would be the descendant of Abraham and that everyone who trusts in Christ would become an heir of Abraham's promise. So it says in Galatians 3:29, "If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to the promise."
(John Piper)
