1 | WHAT MADE LOT A RIGHTIOUS MAN? | Luke 8:13 | GBzones | 206356 | ||
Lot was counted rightous it is true.But not a man to emulate.For although his rightous soul was vexed by the filthy conversations of the wicked.he neither "reproved them" nor "came out from among them". Moreover how did he find himself there in the first place? By walking by SIGHT and not by faith. For he looked and SAW that the land was fruitfull and 'prospering'?and so chose that which was right in his own eyes. Abraham on the other hand walked by faith.If Lot had chosen that way he go the other if lot chose the other hed go that way. It matterd not to some extent as long as he walked with God and God was with him. The next time you hear of Lot he was captured WITH them.The next time he is living AMONG them. and while at the beginning he was as rich in the blessing of God as Abaraham,at then end he came out of it all, saving but his own soul having "suffered loss as through fire"(rev) It is Abraham we need therefore to emulate not Lot. For as it was in the days of lot so shall it be in the last days. Lot was unaware of the lateness of the hour nor what God was about to do. Abraham was not only no where near the conversations of the wicked he also was in a place where God could talk to him and tell him "what he was about to do" gerald |

2 | WHAT MADE LOT A RIGHTIOUS MAN? | Luke 8:13 | bowler | 206386 | ||
GBzones We are so much like Lot! We often go the wrong way into trouble spots and it is God who plucks us out! By faith, by listening to God when He does speak, as Lot did when God sent His angels to tell Lot to come out. Which according to you, not fighting here just pointing out, he did not, but according to the account he did come out. Abraham made a few major mistakes himself concerning God and his wife, but like Lot, despite his mistakes, it is the example of faith of both men that we emulate, not either of their mess ups. God bless you in whatever you endeavor to do for Christ Jesus here, or anywhere. blessings abound, bowler |

3 | WHAT MADE LOT A RIGHTIOUS MAN? | Luke 8:13 | GBzones | 206416 | ||
But if we are so much like Lot then we excuse ourselves too much.For "if ye be Christs then are we Abarahams SEED.." Thus we are to follow Abraham not Lot! For as I pointed out He walked by SIGHT and not by faith. He was COUNTED rightous but how much of the righousness that had been IMPuTED to him was manifested? if the rightousness that was imputed to Him for Christ sake was then became imparted rightousness by the Holy Spirit then that rightous soul would have rebuked the wicked conversation and he wouldm have had the virtue to do so. For we are to "add to our faith virtue" Thus rightousness is imputed through faith in Jesus Christ. But to manifest that rightousness it has to be imparted by the Holy Ghost.To enable us to act rightously. You cant do this by walking by sight. I dont dispute that Lot got out.I said he was dragged out. meaning he was reluctant to go! Lot course went downward.albeit he was saved but only his soul.Look how much he lost. Abraham albeit made serios errors yet he learned from them and his course was always upward. A buisnes chart or graph goes up and down. But there is a trend either up or down. which way are we? I am not arguing for falling flat on our face and God mercyfully picking us up again. Albeit the scriptures say the rightous fall seven times but always gets up (i think) But the wicked fall and rise not up. Im saying that Jesus said that as in the days of Lot sO SHALL IT BE IN THE LAST DAYS or before the Son of man shall come. Now the general regard is to see the wicked and the sin of excees leaisure and bread. But that may comfort the church overmuch. Because there is a message for the church as well at ease in Zion and over fed. Which generaly speaking is walking by sight and not by faith that cometh by understanding the Word of God. Thus we are sleep walking almost anmd unaware of how late the hour is. Daniel by the scriptures percieved the hour in which he lived that the time for the deliverence of isreal was at hand. Well by the self same scriptures the time is at hand for the translation of the bride. But she is NOT ready!!!!!!!!! But she is like in the song of soloman too taken up with her adornments and the like and her groom is OUTSIDE knocking at the door\!]rev 2)? Lot is no person to follow it is ABRAHAM we should seek to emulate for we are ABRAHAMS SEED. not Lot. gerald |
