“And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.”

The Lord is slow to anger and plenteous in mercy (Psalm 103: 8). He will not judge anyone quickly but always gives us time to repent and confess our sin. This was the case with Lot and his family as well. They didn’t realise the urgency of the situation. God was determined to judge Sodom and they had to leave so that they would not perish along with them. However, the people of Sodom had had their chances but they had refused to accept the grace that God offered them. In John 14: 6 the Lord Jesus Christ said, “I am the way the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” There is only One way to escape God’s wrath and that is by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. Any other way may seem to be right but will lead to death (see Prov 14: 12).
