Is it advisable to turn our hearts back to see what a sinful world can offer us after Jesus' redemption has given us restitution, and after we have learned about the word of God and His invitation to enter the kingdom of God?
Unfortunately, as sinners, we constantly do it because the appeal of this dark world is very strong.
As a result, our souls suffer and become ugly, intemperate, weak, blind, and corrupted.
And if we allow persistent resistance to God through our faithless lives, due to our attachments to a secular and atheist world, returning in heart and spirit to an old, sinful life, our souls can even freeze - just as Lot’s wife froze when she turned her head to see Sodom again – and the worst that can happen afterwards will happen, being our souls finally broken and absorbed by this world.
Another relentless disobedient soul will stand motionless and frozen, turned into a pillar of salt and outcast by God when the world passes away.
For Jesus' followers, the pillar of salt is a symbol and a lasting memorial, but if they are not faithful and become careless, it could be a destination during God’s final judgment and could not be included in the book of life.
