1 Corinthians 13:6, Charity Rejoiceth Not In Iniquity (2)
Homosexuality is fast catching on to become a legalised alternate lifestyle in many countries. It is this sin that sent God’s wrath raining on Sodom and Gomorrah in times past. History is repeating itself. Indeed, judgment is coming. The Christian separates himself from such sin as Abraham did by living not in the city but removing himself from these places of sin. The undiscerning Christian in the person of Lot will pitch his tent toward Sodom and gradually finds himself in Sodom before finally sitting at the gates of Sodom. Lot rejoiced in iniquity. He thought he could out manoeuvre sinners and gain a carnal profit in Sodom but he had his soul vexed by all the sinfulness around him. Lot was not abounding in biblical love. Remember his uncle Abraham prayed repeatedly for God’s mercy to spare Sodom and Gomorrah if there are even ten righteous men, knowing that his nephew and family was living there? Lot and his two daughters were the only ones spared of God’s judgment. Remember Lot’s wife who was turned into a pillar of salt for rejoicing in iniquity.
