LastCall: Lot righteous? Living with Homosexuals? -Jon Courson

The men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

 

Genesis 19:16

 

“Wilt Thou destroy the righteous with the wicked?” Abraham asked the Lord (18:23). The answer, as illustrated here, is “No.” Before judgment could be poured out upon Sodom, before fire and brimstone would come down to destroy Gomorrah, God rescued Lot and those of his house.

He rescued the righteous.


Lot righteous? A guy who calls perverted people his brothers? A guy who offers his daughters to a homosexual mob? A guy who lingers when angels tell him to leave? Lot righteous?

Yes. That is what Peter calls him (2 Peter 2:7). How can Lot possibly be considered righteous? It is because righteousness is imputed solely on the basis of simple faith. I am righteous and so are you if you have confessed with your mouth that Jesus is who He claimed to be, and have believed in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9–10). 

I love this chapter because there are a lot of people I care about deeply who, like Lot, made a profession of faith but ended up in Sodom, not living the way they know they should.

If you’re worried about a friend or a family member, take hope. While we don’t want anyone to follow Lot’s example because sin brings all kinds of pain and problems presently, as well as empty-handedness eternally, know this: If that son of yours confesses with his mouth that Jesus is who He claimed to be, and believes in his heart that God has raised Him from the dead, he will be saved.

The Lord communicated through this powerful picture, “I’m going to rescue people you may have thought were hopelessly lost.”
