Oh, What Holy And Noble Question by akon4u: 4:06pm On Apr 17, 2016 |
Oh, What Holy and Noble Question Genesis 18:20-23 The scripture above helps us appreciate how God values man, his soul and our salvation. The angel sent by God to confirm what heaven has heard about Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham entertained them very well and they felt they should not hide their mission from God. The Lord knew Abraham was going to bring up his children and command his house in the fear of the Lord, Abraham has not even conceived Isaac at this time but God knew what he would do ahead of time. They revealed their mission or purpose to Abraham, the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah had reached to the high heavens and something needed to be done. Abraham on hearing what was to happen had to intercede on behalf of Lot and his family who resided in that city. Abraham asked this question; ‘’Lord, will you destroy the righteous with the wicked?’’ Abraham knew that Lot was also walking according to the commandment of God, being that he grew up with Abraham. That was why he could speak on behalf of Lot. God had answers to the questions of Abraham, because He knows how to do everything. Some are asking; can I make heaven? Can I be saved? Can I be holy? Can God forgive me? And so on and so forth, God has answers to all those questions and the answers are YES! Abraham was a great intercessor, he knew and had the mind of God, and he was looking forward to entering the heavenly city build by God. One could be on earth and seated at the right hand of God in heaven, by the live of holiness and righteousness they live. It is not the will of God that a fornicator, liar, adulterer/adulteress, thieve, hypocrite, drunkard, lukewarm, backslider, fraudster, masturbator, gay/lesbian, etc, to die in their sins or perish but He wants them to repent. Why will you...why should you die in your sins? God has no pleasure in the death of sinners or wicked. Repent from your sins today so that you will have eternal life. God made it very clear to Abraham as an answer to his question that He cannot destroy the righteous with the wicked. We need such faith like that of Abraham to love God and people. Abraham was genuinely interested in the life of Lot, this would be the second time he would rescue him from danger. We need to have this kind of mindset and heart! Despite the corruption in the city, the daughters of Lot were still virgins; sisters go enter school, go to a new place and become fornicators even losing their virginity-the judgement of such people will be very great. You have no excuse whether as a brother or sister to live in sin today, your judgement will be very hot unless you repent. Whatever height you have attained, that should not make you live the way you like or disobey God because you are not yet in heaven. The wages of sin is death in the lake of fire forever and the reward for being born again and living for Jesus is eternal life in heaven-make a choice today. Pst Ig.
