08 26 II Peter 2:7-8 Peter’s example of Lot’s rescue gives us a lot to consider given the accounts of his life in both Genesis and II Peter. Peter describes him as righteous yet his actions in Genesis seems to conflict with that. Righteousness isn’t contingent on character, it’s based on faith. His faith is what rescued him. While it appears he may have compromised in certain areas one thing is undeniable he was rescued from this judgment on Sodom. His compromise began when he pitched his tent toward Sodom. It gives us pause to consider our walk whether we are complacent or if we will stand strong in our faith. Will we look toward sin or turn away from it.
