God knew what Abraham would do, he wanted Abraham to know where He stood himself. The bible says that we are so compassed about with a great cloud of witnesses. Abraham is one of these witnesses,so that we would know the power of God.

Why did God need to tempt or test Abraham? If God is omniscient, he new exactly what Abraham would do.
