The focus of this message is on the faithfulness of God. Genesis 19 exalts God who honored the love of Abraham for Lot and his family. First, He showed MERCY to Lot by demanding that he lead his family out of harm's way. The disbelief of his future son's-in-law cost them their lives, but the angels delivered Lot, his wife and two daughters by physically putting them out of the city. Second, God showed GRACE to Lot by compassionately demanding that they escape to the mountains, even though Lot sought a compromise to God's plan. God tolerated his foolish request, based on fear, by showing him favor and letting them escape by going to Zoar. Lastly, God kept His PROMISE to bless Abraham when He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, only after Lot and his daughters had made it safely to Zoar. God's judgment was severe, but the jealousy (discontent) of Lot's wife cost her her life. God put Sodom and Gomorrah through a furnace, reducing them to ashes (2 Peter 2:6), but He delivered Lot, showing His faithfulness by remembering Abraham.
