The Saddest Saint in the Scriptures

Genesis 19:14 KJV
And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

I am calling Lot "the sorriest saint in the Scriptures." The Bible says of him,
2 Peter 2:8 KJV
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

So I know these two things about him;
First, he is a righteous man. Not in his actions, but in the sense that God had justified him.
Second he was vexed in his soul day by day.

He is, in our terms, a Christian. But he is a miserable Christian. Every day is a vexation and misery to him.

He had traded the power of God in his life for the ability to be an influence in Sodom. And in the end, he had
No influence over Sodom
No influence (power) over his sons in law
No influence over his wife and
No righteous influence over his surviving daughters.

He thought he wanted the wealth and prosperity of the well-watered plains. He thought he wanted the prestige and prominence of sitting in the gate of Sodom. But it was not as grand he thought it would be and, even sitting at that gate, he was vexed, filled with sorrow and emptiness, and died alone frightened and no doubt ashamed.

Can a man be saved and choose the filth of this world? Apparently. But it is not worth it.
