How do we know Lot was considered righteous by God?

Answered in 1 source

Lot is described as righteous because of God’s declaration in 2 Peter 2:7-8, despite his flaws.

In 2 Peter 2:7-8, Lot is referred to as a righteous man, emphasizing that righteousness is not determined by human standards but by God's declaration. The passage highlights that Lot was 'vexed' by the sinful conduct around him, which is indicative of a true believer's heart feeling the weight of sin. This understanding affirms that righteousness before God is by divine grace rather than through personal merit or perfect obedience. Lot’s association with Abraham, the father of the faithful, also illustrates how God’s grace operates through familial and covenant relationships, showing that God grants righteousness not by works but by mercy and faith.
