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.
