How would you describe what God has done for you? (4)
When God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. Gen. 19:29
Imagine you are on a luxurious cruise liner, and I come along with a small row boat asking you to join me. You'll probably choose the amazing luxury you are in over my little boat. Now, imagine I tell you that the name of your cruise liner is the 'Titanic'. All of a sudden your perspective is changed and you may prefer the smaller boat. This world is filled with pleasures but God has come to save you out of it. Lot was living in a sinful place but one day God came to destroy it. Before God brought the judgement first he brought His chosen people out. One day coming God will do the same, as it was in the days of Lot it will be with the coming of Jesus (Luke 17:28-37)! In Genesis God finds a man who is walking faithfully with Him, named Enoch (Genesis 5:24). Before the judgement came God took Him away! Jesus is coming again to take His people to be with Him (John 14:2-3).
