How do we know Lot was a true believer?

Answered in 1 source

Lot is referred to as 'just' in 2 Peter, indicating his genuine faith despite his poor choices.

Lot’s belief is affirmed in 2 Peter 2:7, where he is called 'just Lot.' This identification emphasizes that true justification comes through faith in Christ, not through one’s actions. Despite poor decisions and his lingering in Sodom, Lot was justified by grace through faith, similar to how other believers are saved. His narrative serves as a reminder that God’s mercy saves us, not our deeds. Therefore, Lot’s faith, rooted in the same gospel that Abraham believed, demonstrates that true believers can still struggle with sin and make unwise choices.
