Lot's decline: Genesis 13:12; Genesis 14:12; Genesis 19:1.
Genesis 19:14 - "And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters..."
By contrast, Genesis 24:1-9, Abraham unwilling to marry off Isaac to the pagan peoples of the land of Canaan: "Thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell."
Genesis 19:26 - But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
LOOKING BACK:
- Warnings: Proverbs 14:14; Luke 17:31-32; Luke 9:62; Hebrews 10:38-39; II Peter 2:18-22.
- Paul's example: Philippians 3:1-14
- Proper focus forward: Hebrews 12:1-2
