Do you feel tormented in this world? 2 Peter

When righteous people get tangled up in the world it is a torment to their soul!  Read again 2 Peter 2:4-10.  The theme in these verses is that God can and will deliver the righteous from evil.  However, in the middle of the development of that theme we see that Peter gives us a brief commentary on what happen to Lot as he was living among the sorted and vile men of Sodom.  Peter tells us that it was a torment to his very soul.  You will know that you are righteous through faith by grace if when you are surrounded by sin you are uncomfortable.  Although, Peter doesn't say Lot was uncomfortable.  He says that Lot was “tormented.”  It is important to realize that people who have been declared righteous by God's grace through faith in Christ will find torment when surrounded by sin.  If you are comfortable with sin and sinners  you are not fully growing your declared righteousness.   Lot was "oppressed" - the word in the Greek is made up of two words, "down" and "labor."   We might say, waited down.   The sins of Sodom and Gomorrah "waited him down."   If we are righteous in Christ we ought to fill unclean in the world.
