How do we know that Lot was a righteous man?

Answered in 1 source

Lot is described as righteous in 2 Peter 2:7-8, affirming his standing before God despite his shortcomings.

The Apostle Peter refers to Lot as a righteous man in 2 Peter 2:7-8, stating that Lot was tormented by the wickedness around him in Sodom. This designation indicates that Lot had a genuine relationship with God, marked by justification and moral sensitivity to sin. While his behavior may seem questionable, it's crucial to recognize that one's state in life does not always reflect their position before God. Lot's lingering can be understood as a struggle against his inherent weaknesses rather than a complete denial of his faith.
