Genesis 13 - Make Your Calling and Election Sure

What is standing between you and God's promises? Or, to put it another way, what is standing between you and full obedience to God's commands?

For Abram, it was his nephew Lot. Lot, who came out of Egypt with Abram and Sarai (Abraham and Sarah) as seemingly blessed as they were, but whose life spiraled out of control once he was no longer associated with Abram.

Lot's choices led him where he ended up, but his choices were governed by the fact that he wasn't in covenant relationship with God.

You have choices to make as well, when it comes to obeying God. But first, you need to get into covenant relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. After that, you may still have to figure out what may be standing between you and full obedience.
