Luke 17:32 • 1 min. read • grade level: 6

SHE set out with her husband from Sodom to escape the awful judgment which God was bringing on that guilty city. But her heart was still there; her affections clung to Sodom, and that which it contained; and so, looking behind her, she was turned into a pillar of salt. She became thus an abiding memorial of the terrible consequences of relapsing from an awakened into a careless state. Oh! that God Himself may impress upon your heart the warning addressed to Lot, and to each one in his family, "Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed" (Gen. 19:17¹⁷And 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. (Genesis 19:17)).
