Genesis 18:22-33. Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?

Rev. Steven Naylor, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Grangeville, ID joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Genesis 18:22-33. God’s mercy and justice are in full effect. There is always punishment for sin but as He is merciful He holds back the punishment for the sake of the faithful. Abraham pleads with the Lord to be merciful to the grave, undeserving sinners in Sodom. The hard fact is that none of us deserve His grace, but by His love He has placed that wrath on His Son. We repent and pray with confidence due on account of Christ’s full sufficient sacrifice for our forgiveness. “Lord God, thank You for allowing us to confidently come to You as Abraham pleaded for Sodom. Keep us from sin, keep us in faith, and as Christ has taken Your wrath in our place, fill us with Your righteousness. In His name, Amen”
