The Redeemer of the world declares that there are greater sins than that for which Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. Those who hear the gospel invitation calling sinners to repentance, and heed it not, are more guilty before God than were the dwellers in the vale of Siddim. And still greater sin is theirs who profess to know God and to keep His commandments, yet who deny Christ in their character and their daily life. In the light of the Saviour's warning, the fate of Sodom is a solemn admonition, not merely to those who are guilty of outbreaking sin, but to all who are trifling with Heaven-sent light and privileges.

Verdens forløser siger, at der findes større synder end dem, som Sodoma og Gomorra blev straffet for. De, der hører evangeliets indbydelse kalde syndere til omvendelse, men ikke ænser den, er mere skyldige end beboerne i Siddims dal. Og synden er endnu større hos dem, der bekender sig til at kende Gud og holde hans bud, men fornægter Kristus i deres karakter og daglige liv. I lyset af Frelserens advarsel er Sodomas skæbne en alvorlig formaning ikke alene til dem, der er skyldige i åbenbar synd, men til alle, der driver spøg med lyset fra Himmelen og de dermed forbundne privilegier.
