[1] {Thus were}
Abraham and Lot are contrasted characters. Of the same stock
# Ge 11:31
subjected to the same environment, and both justified men
# Ge 15:6 2Pe 2:7,8
the contrast in character and career is shown to be
the result of their respective choices at the crisis of their lives.
Lot "chose him all the plain of Jordan" for present advantage;
Abraham "looked for a city which hath foundations"
# Heb 11:10
and
# Ge 13:18
"came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre (fatness), which is
in Hebron" (communion). The men remain types of the worldly and
spiritual believer.

[1] {Sarah} [2] {Isaac}
Sarah, type of grace, "the freewoman," and of the "Jerusalem which is
above." See
# Ge 17:15-19 Ga 4:22-31
[2] Isaac
is typical in fourfold way: (1) of the Church as composed
of the spiritual children of Abraham
# Ga 4:28
(2) of Christ as the Son "obedient unto death"
# Ge 22:1-10 Php 2:5-8
(3) of Christ as the Bridegroom of a called-out bride see
Gen 24; also, "Church,"
# Mt 16:18
and refs.);
(4) of the new nature of the believer as "born after the Spirit"
# Ga 4:29
