Remember Lot’s Wife (Luke 17:32)
In teaching about the need to heed warnings, Jesus uses the example of Lot’s wife (Lk. 17:32).
Let us learn from her example by remember that she perished:
- Even Though She Was Married To A Righteous Man (2 Pet. 2:6-8); a reminder of our personal accountability before God (Rom. 14:12; 2 Cor. 5:10).
- Even Though She Was Warned By God (Gen. 19:17); hearing God’s Word and not heeding it will always be detrimental (James 1:21-22; Matt. 7:26; Heb. 4:2).
- Even Though She Made An Effort To Save Herself (Gen. 19:26); one can make a start and not follow through to the end (Gen. 5:4, 7; Heb. 4:1; 10:23; Rev. 2:10; Lk. 9:23).
- Even Though She Did Leave Sodom (Gen. 19:26); too many seem to leave their heart behind in the world (2 Tim. 4:10; 1 Jn 2:15-17; Col. 3:2).
- Even Though She Committed Only One Sin (Gen. 19:26); sin condemns, we cannot minimize its effects and consequences (Rom. 6:23; James 2:8-11).
May Lot’s wife ever be a reminder to heed the warnings of God and continue faithfully with Him.
