"Remember Lot's wife... one of the shortest verses in all the Bible. Don't look back."
Billy Graham unpacks the terrifying lesson from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. When the angels led Lot's family out of the judgment, they were given one rule: don't look back. But she loved the world too much, looked back, and was turned into a pillar of salt! Jesus used her as the ultimate warning for believers today. If you have been rescued by grace, stop looking longingly at your old life!

It's hard not to look back I admit 😟😕

Philippians 3:12-14 New King James Version
Pressing Toward the Goal
12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.
13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Video is approximately 2:40 in length (less than 3 minutes)
I think it’s a comforting passage. Basically: don’t let the past bring you down! (Or in her case: freeze you forever!)

Luke 17:28-32
New King James Version
28 Likewise as it was also in the Days of Lot:
They Ate, They Drank, They Bought, They Sold,
They Planted, They Built;
29 but on the Day that Lot went out of Sodom
it Rained Fire And Brimstone From Heaven
And Destroyed Them All
30 Even so will it be in the Day when
the Son of Man is Revealed.
31 “In that Day, he who is on the housetop,
and his goods are in the house,
let him not come down to take them away.
And likewise the one who is in the field,
let him not turn back.
32 Remember Lot’s Wife.

Oh wow 😲
Notice she is turning into salt from the bottom up.
Yes! While some may have undue nostalgia over the so called “good ole days” - a good many others are burdened by the regrets of their past, broken relationships, or unresolved hurt, anger, and trauma…
That can be poisonous even to the Christian life.

The Lord God could not find
10 Righteous in the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah
Genesis 18:20-33
English Standard Version
20 Then the Lord said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave,
21 I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry that has come to Me. And if not, I will know.”
Abraham Intercedes for Sodom
22 So the men turned from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the Lord.
23 Then Abraham drew near and said, “Will You indeed sweep away the Righteous with the Wicked?
24 Suppose there are fifty Righteous within the city. Will You then sweep away the place and not spare it for the fifty Righteous who are in it?
25 Far be it from You to do such a thing, to put the Righteous to Death with the Wicked, so that the Righteous fare as the Wicked! Far be that from You! Shall not the Judge of all the Earth do what is just?”
26 And the Lord said, “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
27 Abraham answered and said, “Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord, I who am but Dust and Ashes.
28 Suppose five of the fifty Righteous are lacking. Will You destroy the whole city for lack of five?” And He said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”
29 Again he spoke to Him and said, “Suppose forty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of forty I will not do it.”
30 Then he said, “Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Suppose thirty are found there.” He answered, “I will not do it, if I find thirty there.”
31 He said, “Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it.”
32 Then he said, “Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of ten I will not destroy it.”
33 And the Lord went His way, when He had finished speaking to Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.

You have to look back to see what the future will bring you.
Its basically, don’t romanticize and fantasize about your past sins.
It leads to obssession and going back to them.
Definitely.
Lot’s wife though was obviously properly married and well to do though. So her ‘sins’ were things like complacency, materialism, etc…It’s not just sexual sin Sodom/Gomorrah were judged for.
