Abraham’s conversation shows that faith includes questions, courage, and deep concern for justice.

To stand before God is not to remain silent, but to speak with humility and trust.

Justice and mercy are not opposed in God—they belong together.

Even in judgment, God listens to the voice of intercession.

Abraham’s persistence is not arrogance—it’s rooted in a belief that God is truly good.

This kind of prayer holds the tension between divine holiness and human hope.

God does not dismiss our pleading; he invites it.

The integrity of even a few can influence the fate of many.

Genesis 18:16-33. Matthew 8:18-22.
