This study will be like putting together a puzzle with many pieces. Each piece is like an individual scripture in the book, that you are so focused on getting it right, in the right place. You don’t see the big picture until the puzzle in complete and you step back. We will look at the book of Deuteronomy not as individual verses, but as scenes and concepts as a whole, seeing what the whole message of the book is about.

In describing Lot the Apostle Peter said how God, “7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked 8 (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)— 9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,” (2 Peter 2:7-9).

In this lesson we will consider how Lot, being a man who did make mistakes, could be considered “righteous”. We’ll look at the biblical definition or what a righteous person is and other examples we can learn from and make application in our own lives. Consider Solomon wrote, “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are [e]safe” (Proverbs 18:10). Let’s study the scripture together and see what God wants from us in the way of righteousness.
