Bible Verse #19: GOD WILL REMEMBER YOU - Uplifting Bible Verses

“So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.” Genesis 19:29

The thought that God remembers me in challenging times is quite comforting. God remembered Abraham. There is no reason He will fail to remember you too. But it looks like there are preconditions to it.

Let us consider the kind of person Abraham was before God’s eyes.

We are told that Abraham had faith in God; he is actually referred to as our father in matters of faith.

We are further told that Abraham believed God, and God credited this to him as righteousness. So by believing God, Abraham stood righteous Him.

Then there is this other quality. Abraham walked in total obedience to God. God asked for Abraham’s son, and Abraham was ready to give his son to Him. Abraham can be considered to have given his son to God because he was just about to do it and did not even know that it was only a test!

Abraham behaved like God; he was ready to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, just as God sacrificed His only son, Jesus.

So, besides the fact that God chose Abraham, I think we need to give accolades to Abraham for walking perfectly within his calling. Therefore, a strong bond of friendship developed between God and Abraham.

Imagine that when God decided to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, He wondered whether it would be proper to hide this decision from Abraham. In the end, God confided in Abraham because He had found it extremely difficult not to do so.

Here is the beautiful part. We believe God and believe in Him not just for our sake, but for the sake of many others, some of whom we will probably never meet physically. We walk in obedience to God not only for our sake but also for the sake of others. We seek pristine fellowship with God not only for our sake but for the sake of others as well.

Check this: “So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.” Genesis 19:29

The lives of Lot and his family were spared because God remembered Abraham. It was not because of Lot that he and his family were spared the brimstone and fire; it was because of the faithful Abraham.

Many will be remembered because of you if you would emulate Abraham (if you would emulate Christ).

Family, friends, loved ones, and many more will be spared challenges and much pain and suffering because of you. Christians need to appreciate the responsibility placed on their shareholders and work hard at optimizing and sanitizing their relationship with the Lord.
