Genesis 19.

A harsh chapter indeed.
where God rained punishment onto Sodom and Gomorrah.

it's also where we see:

Total depravity - all men are evil. even though Abraham pleaded with God not to destroy if only there were 10 righteous men in the city,the condition could not be fulfilled.

Unconditional election - God chose to save Lot without demanding him to do anything. not by his works, but by God alone.

Limited atonement - not everyone in S & G were saved. only Lot's family was chosen.

Irresistable grace - no matter how reluctant Lot was to leave and how he delayed his leaving he was still saved.effective call of the spirit.

Perserverence of the saints - God preserved Lot to the end.

many lessons to be learnt from this chpt.
how parents should teach their child and bring them up in God's words.
how we should escape without hesitation and immediately (from worldly desires and things)
how we should trust God in everything we do and obey Him
etcetc.

am forever glad about tulip.eternally grateful to this wonderful God who saved a hopeless girl like me out of so many people, by His wonderful grace and mercy and preserved me to the end.



eternally grateful;
