4. Abraham\u2019s Intercession<\/p>\n
Gen_18:18-33<\/p>\n
Dr. Joseph Parker, in referring to Sodom, and Abraham\u2019s prayer for it, and God\u2019s knowledge of its sin, said: \u201cThere are four great facts to consider. 1, That God holds inquest upon the moral condition of cities. 2, That God is accessible to earnest human appeal. 3, That the few can serve the many. 4, That human prayer falls below Divine resources.\u201d There are several traits in Abraham\u2019s intercession.<\/p>\n
1. He was confident in spirit, for he stood before the Lord\u2014Gen_18:22.<\/p>\n
2. He was definite in his plea, for he prayed that Sodom might be spared for the sake of the righteous in it\u2014Gen_18:23-25.<\/p>\n
3. He pleaded what the Lord was, and His righteousness, as arguments for his prayer to be answered, for he confessed the Judge of all the earth would do right\u2014Gen_18:25, Gen_18:26.<\/p>\n
4. His intercession was humble in tone, for he confessed he was but dust and ashes\u2014Gen_18:27.<\/p>\n
5. And his petition was persistent in spirit\u2014Gen_18:28. And yet it failed in its continuance, for he left off in his intercession before the Lord left off in His giving\u2014Gen_18:32, Gen_18:33.<\/p>\n
