The Delusion of Carnal Reformation.docx

This document summarizes three key points from Genesis 19:17-20, 30 about Lot's experience fleeing Sodom: I. Lot is told to escape for his life from Sodom to the mountains (19:17). II. Lot asks to go to the nearby small city of Zoar instead, saying his soul will live there (19:20). III. After Zoar is destroyed, Lot ends up living in danger in a cave in the mountains, showing that carnal reformation without repentance leaves one unstable.

The Delusion of Carnal Reformation Text: Gen 19:17-20, 30 17) And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. 18) And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
19) Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: 20) Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. Gen 19:30 30) And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. Prov 14:14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
I. Escape- 19:17 Gen 19:17 17) And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. Escape for thy life… He died on January 28, 814.
Many years later, archaeologists discovered the tomb of Charlemagne,the great king and emperor of France. When the tomb was opened, after being closed for centuries, the men who entered it found something amazing. They found treasures of the kingdom; But in the center of the large vault was a marble throne, and seated on the throne was the skeleton of Charlemagne,with an open Bible on his lap, and a bony finger pointing at Mrk 8:36, "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" Heb 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Escape to 2Pet 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. II. Exchange- 19:20 Gen 19:20
20) Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. Poison dart frog The potent toxin secreted from their skin has been used by indigenous peoples in Central and South America to poison the tips of blowdarts. The deadliest species, the golden poison frog, carries enough toxin on average to kill 10 to 20 men. That's impressive for a creature that only grows to about 1.5 inches in size. …my soul shall live… Gen 12:13
Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee. 1Tim 5:6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. Lam 4:5-6 5 They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills. 6 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her. Rev 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the
seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Prov 14:12-14 12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. 14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. A reformation of actions without repentance of heart creates a rebellion of spirit that demands Gods hand of punishment. Gen 19:18
18) And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: Gen 19:19 19) Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: Gen 19:29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. Isa 55:3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an
everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Rom 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 1John 1:5-6 5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: Hos 7:16 16) They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
2Kgs 17:33 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence. Jer 2:36 Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria. Jer 2:37 Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them. Jas 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
III. Endanger- 19:30 Gen 19:30 30) And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. Prov 5:22 22) His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
Ps 23:3-4 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. THE DELUSION OF CARNAL REFORMATION TEXT: GEN 19:17-20,30 I. ESCAPE- 19:17 II. EXCHANGE- 19:20 III. ENDANGER- 19:30
