“Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgement than for that city!”

-Jesus

Jesus tells us to learn from the judgement of Sodom and Gomorrah, not for the sake of fear but of the sake of the love we have in Christ.  God is trying to clear sin from this world but He has a problem, the object of His supreme love is connected to it . . . namely you and me.
