The bible does not directly state why God selected him, but after reading scripture one can conclude that God selected Abraham due to his great faith.

He created man for a relationship and “thus Genesis does not present a static theology of God’s involvement with humanity, but regardless of his mode of engagement, God is present and active” (358).
