Presentation transcript:

Genesis 13, – Sodom and Gomorrah I. Who are the main players in this portion of Genesis and what to they represent? A. Abraham Abraham represents the consecrated Christian who demonstrated great faith in the promises of God and God’s ability to fulfill those promises. He is a man of worship and sacrifice who held loosely to the things of this world.

B. Lot Lot represents the carnal Christian who professes to be a part of God’s family but lives in the sense realm. He is a man who only sought his own pleasure and profit. He built no altar. He represents the unconsecrated life that can live without worship.

C. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah The people of Sodom and Gomorrah represent the ungodly who have lost all restraint and sense of conscience. They represent the progression of sin and the end to which unchecked lust will eventually arrive.

II. How did Abraham demonstrate his faith in God when he separated from Lot? A. Abram was willing to let Lot choose first (Gen.13:8-9). B. Abram was willing to trust God for his future. C. Abram had a generous spirit. D. Abram refused to accept anything from the king of Sodom (Gen. 14:21-24).

E. Abram was rewarded with fresh affirmation from the Lord (Gen. 13:14- 17).

III. What was the condition of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah that precipitated their destruction by God? There are several descriptions that are found in the Bible regarding Sodom and Gomorrah. A. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah were wicked and sinful. (Gen. 13:13). B. The sins of the people of Sodom and Gomorrah were very grievous or severe in the sight of the Lord (Gen. 18:20, NIV).

C. The men of Sodom and Gomorrah burned in their lust for other men (Gen. 19:4-7; II Pet. 2:7; Jude 7). D. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah were filled with pride and sensuality (Is. 3:9; Ezek.16:49-50). Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy…

… And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit. Ezekiel 16: They had material abundance. 2. They loved idleness. 3. Even though they had so much they neglected the poor. 4. They committed abominable sexual sins.

E. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah incited the anger or the wrath of God (Deut. 29:23; II Pet. 2:6-8). F. The sins of Sodom and Gomorrah became a measuring rod for wickedness (Is. 1:9; 13:19). G. God’s sudden destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah became symbolic of His worst possible judgment (Jer. 23: 14; 49:18; 50:40; Lam. 4:6; Amos 4:11).

IV. How did Lot demonstrate his spirit of compromise and mixture? A. Lot’s downward journey. 1. Lot only saw things through natural eyes (Gen. 13:10-11). a. As such he had a temporal value system. b. As such he still had Egypt in his heart.

c. As such he was unwilling to defer to his uncle and spiritual father. d. As such he only saw what he wanted to see (Gen. 13:13). 2. Lot pitched his tent toward Sodom (Gen. 13:12). 3. Lot eventually moved into Sodom with his family (Gen. 14:12). 4. Lot became an official in Sodom in the seat of government (Gen. 19:1).

5. Lot allowed his daughters to marry Sodomites (Gen. 19:14). 6. Lot was reluctant to leave Sodom (Gen. 19:16). 7. Lot tried to compromise with God’s absolute commands (Gen. 19:19-21). 8. Lot committed sins of incest with his daughters (Gen. 19:30-35). 9. Lot became the father of anti-Christ nations—Ammon and Moab (Gen. 19:36-38).

B. Lot’s lack of savor. 1. He lost his personal purity and became mingled and compromised with the people of Sodom (Gen. 19:2 with 18:3). 2. He lost respect and with it his power to influence (Gen. 19:14). 3. He lost his ability to preserve (Gen. 18:32 with 19:8, 12, 14).

If Lot would have had his home in order, it would have been enough. Lot1 Lot’s wife1 Single daughters2 Sons (at least 2)2 Married daughters 2 Sons-in-laws2 Total10

4. He lost any testimony that he might have had in relation to the world.

C. Lot’s losses. 1. He lost all of his possessions. 2. He lost his family to the world. 3. He lost his marriage and indirectly caused the death of his wife (Gen. 19:15-16, 26). 4. He caused the destruction of his culture. 5. He ended up in a cave as a drunken and a vile man (Gen. 19:30-35). 6. He produced long term negative fruit (Gen. 19:36-38).

V. What can we learn from the life of Lot and his family? A. God has called his people to be the salt of the earth (Mt. 5:13). 1. Salt is essential for life. 2. Salt is a symbol of purity. 3. Salt is a preservative. 4. Salt is a flavor-enhancer (Job. 6:6). 5. Salt is antiseptic. 6. Salt stirs up thirst.

B. Our salt can lose its savor through compromise (Jam. 1:27). 1. Salt will lose its savor if it is mixed with a lot of foreign substances. 2. Salt will lose its savor if it is stored too close to the ground.

C. We need to do certain things to ensure that we accomplish our mission in this world. There are several characteristics of a salty Christian. 1. A tongue seasoned with grace (Col. 4:6). 2. A pure heart (Mt. 5:8). 3. A godly lifestyle (Eph. 5:11).

4. A gracious spirit (Num. 14:24). 5. A fervency and zeal for the Lord (Tit. 2:14).
