Lesson XIV

Just Lot

November 22, 2009

Text 2 Peter 2:7-9

We would not know him to be ‘just’ and ‘righteous’ if we had not been told

I He appears because of Abram’s failure.

Genesis 12:1 The Lord had said ; leave your country and kindred

Genesis 11:31-32 Terah insisted that he go too, and also Lot

Genesis 12:10 Abram goes down into Egypt with Lot

Genesis 13:1 Lot went up with him

II Lot and Abram separate

Genesis 13:7-9

III Lot becomes a type or picture of a carnal saint.

So we look at some lessons about “saints”

1 It is true, all believers sin

1 John 1:10

2. Believers are capable of committing any sin of the flesh

Galatians 5:19 look at the list and don’t blame the Devil!

2 Samuel 12:1-12 was David a believer?

3 When believers sin the Holy Spirit convicts then because of their sin

2 Samuel 24:10 his heart smote him

Galatians 5:17 things that did not bother you before you were saved, bother you now

4 Therefore, believers are never proud of their sin. When you are born anew, the Spirit starts revealing you to you.

Job 42:5,6 I abhor myself

Isaiah 6:16 woe is me.

The closer you are to Him the more vile you will appear yourself to be!

5 Believers therefore , do not parade their sin, but are told to confess them to the Lord

1 John 1:7 we confess , He forgives.

2 Samuel 9:13-14 see what David did?

Romans 4:6-8 see what Paul writes about David

6 Believers are being held in God’s hand

John 10:27-29 no man can pluck us!

Psalm 32:4 thy hand was heavy upon me

7 If you are a believer, God will still love you even when you sin

Romans 8:38-39- nothing can separate

John 13:1 He loves you too much to ever let go.

IV Conclude. Would you rather be in Abram’s or Lot’s shoes now?
