Grace is God’s favor bestowed on the unworthy. A favor is something that cannot be earned, though it may require conditions of the recipient. The Lord judged Sodom worthy of His wrath (Genesis 19:12-13). When Lot tried to persuade his sons-in-law to leave Sodom, they thought he was joking (verse 14). They refused the grace of God. Sinners find it difficult to believe that their sinful pleasures will come to an end. Lot himself delayed his departure (verses 15-16). Apparently he did not take God’s threat seriously. He even presumed to recommend the best city for his family to enter after escaping Sodom’s destruction (verses 17-19). God’s grace teaches us how to escape another destruction (Titus 2:11-12). Are you listening? Jesus will come very soon and He wants you and I to be ready for that day that is about to come 2 Peter 3:9-10.
