The grass always seems greener on the other side of the fence, doesn't it? We know what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot chose to go there because it "looked" prosperous and lovely. Looks, however, can be deceiving. In Lot's case, it cost him his home and his family. He brought them into sin there because of his own selfishness. Abram was a symbol of Messiah. He (Messiah) gave Lot (the people) a choice. But for Abram, the LORD gave everlasting life (uncountable seed).

When Lot realized his sin (in Sodom), he took his family away (repented), but Lot's wife was too much in the world (unrepentent) and she was turned into a pillar of salt for it. She didn't escape the sin of the world. She was not saved. But Lot obey GOD and he was saved.

We have a chance to escape Sodom and Gomorrah by removing our families from the sinful lifestyle. But the life is so strong here on this earth that it takes a truly committed person to escape it all.

May we all be like Lot and listen to GOD and turn from our sins.
