The Purpose of God's Limits
As a result, both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their own father. When the older daughter gave birth to a son, she named him Moab. He became the ancestor of the nation now known as the Moabites.—Genesis 19:36-37 NLT
Lot and his daughters miraculously escaped the destruction of Sodom, but apparently carried the essence of that ungodly city with them.
Moab, born out of an incestuous relationship between Lot and his daughter, grew up to be an unsavory character. His was an attitude birthed in Sodom and Gomorrah: “Go ahead, whatever you do is permissible. No one will hold you accountable.” This is a destructive mindset.
God sets limits for you because He loves you. Those boundaries are for your protection. God cares about you! He cares so much He allowed His only Son to die for your sin. If you have strayed from Him, turn, repent, and find grace.
