Lot: A Righteous Man?

And if God rescued Lot, a righteous man…2 Peter 2.7

Considering the life of Lot, “a righteous man” seems an inappropriate tile to pin on him. Fleshly, money-hungry, compromising, drunk, and incestuous all seem fitting, but not, “righteous.” Yet, “righteous” is exactly the adjective the Holy Spirit inspired Peter to use in order to describe Lot. What are we to make of this?

It is obvious from Lot’s story that the righteousness by which a child of God is justified comes from some source other than himself. If Lot is righteous, then his righteousness was not of his own making; it came from somewhere else. This is true of everyone the Scriptures justify, from faithful Abraham to despicable Lot. Jesus Christ is the righteousness of God’s people, so they are all equally righteous in the sight of God regardless how they lived.

Moreover, pinning the title “Righteous” on Lot serves to put the focus on God’s grace in salvation. The Holy Spirit did not call Lot righteous in order to minimize Lot’s great wickedness, but that He might magnify God’s great grace! What glory to God that His salvation can bestow the title of “Righteous” on such a ne’er-do-well as Lot! Lot is not God’s example of how we should live: He is God’s example of how gracious He is to even the chiefs of sinners.
