Abram & Sara

BKC:

Genesis 18-21

Angels fellowship with Abraham & announce that Sarah will have a child.  Sodom is increasingly wicked and Abraham dialogues with God about it.

Justice is the theme.

God wanted to demonstrate justice to Sodom.  I am curious about this concept of the sins of people being "complete" as I have seen it at other points in the scriptures.  It speaks of His long suffering and also again seems to imply that God gives people a chance, that freewill is somehow involved. It speaks against fatalism to an extent.

"Thus the theme of justice predominates: those who will enjoy God’s blessing (a) will teach justice (Gen_18:19); (b) may intercede for just judgment to preserve the righteous; and (c) know that God may preserve the wicked for the sake of the righteous." -BKC
