I AM THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST

“Then the men rose up from there, and looked down toward Sodom; and Abraham was walking with them to send them off. The Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed? For I have chosen him, so that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring upon Abraham what He has spoken about him.” And the Lord said, “The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave. I will go down now, and see if they have done entirely according to its outcry, which has come to Me; and if not, I will know.”  Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, while Abraham was still standing before the Lord . Abraham came near and said, “Will You indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; will You indeed sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous who are in it? Far be it from You to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal justly?” So the Lord said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place on their account.” And Abraham replied, “Now behold, I have ventured to speak to the Lord, although I am but dust and ashes. Suppose the fifty righteous are lacking five, will You destroy the whole city because of five?” And He said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.” He spoke to Him yet again and said, “Suppose forty are found there?” And He said, “I will not do it on account of the forty.” Then he said, “Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak; suppose thirty are found there?” And He said, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.” And he said, “Now behold, I have ventured to speak to the Lord; suppose twenty are found there?” And He said, “I will not destroy it on account of the twenty.” Then he said, “Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak only this once; suppose ten are found there?” And He said, “I will not destroy it on account of the ten.” As soon as He had finished speaking to Abraham the Lord departed, and Abraham returned to his place.”  Genesis 18:16‭-‬33 NASB” For ten  righteous people God would have spared Sodom and Gomorrah. Evidently Abraham couldn’t find ten righteous people in all of those two cities. How many righteous people would Abraham find in America today ?  Our values are crumbling; our  country is in moral decay. Same sex marriage is not only condoned but it is encouraged. Millions of unborn babies have matter of factly been brutally murdered in the name of Free Choice. The country is being ravaged by a drug epidemic. And yet there are thousands and thousands of righteous people in this country. They are made righteous by the sacrifice of the LORD JESUS CHRIST: “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ” 2Cor 5:19 NKJV  Please contact us at 6lightsinthedesert@gmail.com to help you establish a life saving relationship for eternity with Jesus Christ.
