True, although I do think that in the Old Testament, this relationship was based on works, and on what you did to fulfil and not break the law. In the New Testament, this relationship is based on Grace, the free gift of God.

But Abrahams righteousness was accounted to him by faith and not by works. The entire premise of the book of Hebrews is centered around the idea that Gods covenant with man has always been by grace. In the Old Testament looking forward to the promised Messiah from Genesis and in the New Testament looking at and back to the manifested and risen Christ.

True, great point! thanks. Also key to note, Abraham was, before the law was given. Paul in the book of Romans, does explain that by considering Abraham the father of the Faith or Forefather, the point is missed when we forget that Abraham was justified by faith and not by works.
