Gen 12, the stories continues on, and God makes his promises clear in covenantal form.
If Abrahams faith, that Paul points back to, is not the basis of the entire covenant (faith), then I don't know what is.
In case you fail to realize the covenantal language (because the terms of agreement aren't spelled out enough), v18 says 18
On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying,(W) "To your offspring I give[c] this land, from(X) the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates, 19the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, 20the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, 21the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites and the Jebusites."
