Most people are like Lot; they love the world (1 John 2:15). But Abram followed a precept later taught by Jesus: “. . . seek first [God s] kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:33). Indeed, no sooner had Lot departed than the Lord renewed His great promise to Abram: “All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring” (verse 15). Not only that but the Lord also told Abram his offspring would be as numerous as the dust of the earth (verse 16)—so numerous it would be impossible to count them.
The chapter ends with Abram building another altar to the Lord in grateful acknowledgment that God alone is the source of all blessing and that He alone deserves our worship and trust.
