How do we know the righteous will not be punished with the wicked?

Genesis 19 reassures believers that divine justice does not equate to collective punishment for the righteous and wicked alike. God promised to spare Lot and his family before raining down judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah. This is corroborated by various scriptural assurances, such as in Romans 8:1, which states, 'There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.' The narrative of Lot's escape emphasizes that God protects His own from His judgment, confirming that those who trust in God's promises can be confident in their salvation, thus demonstrating that the righteous are delivered because Christ has borne the punishment for their sins.
