How do we know Lot was righteous?

Answered in 3 sources

Lot is referred to as righteous in Scripture because his sins were borne by Christ, making him justified before God.

The New Testament references Lot as 'righteous' in 2 Peter 2:7-8, despite his many flaws. This righteousness is not based on Lot's actions but on the righteousness of Christ, which is imputed to believers. His deliverance symbolizes the grace of God, demonstrating that even amidst moral failings, those chosen by God are justified through faith in Christ. Lot's story serves to illustrate the gospel's power and the divine mercy extended to sinners.
Scripture References: 2 Peter 2:7-8, Ephesians 4:32, Romans 3:10, Galatians 2:16
