The Bible : The followers of Jesus Christ and his Father

This week I began reading the Bible. Its a great book, with tons of plot twists and many characters to follow. In the book I am currently in, Genesis, its speaks of many things. From the creation of the world to the death of Cain, the book Genesis teaches many important lessons about life. For example, the deaths of Sodom and Gomorrah. In this story, Lot and his wife  are running away from a the city Sodom. God commands them not to look back, and to run away from their torturers. Lots wife, while running, looks back, and is turned into a pillar of salt for her misdeeds. Lot, knowing to obey the Lord Gods rules, keeps running. I think this is a very important part of the Bible. It teaches us that consequences happen, but there will be a warning. If Lots wife had obeyed, she would not have become a pillar of salt. But, due to disobedience of the Lord our Gods will, she passed away. I also think that Lots perspective is very important as well. Lot followed Gods rules, and was not punished. I think this should be implied to modern life. If teachers today simply punished who truly deserved it, then the more accomplished person will get rewarded. I think this is an important concept, and should be reviewed by many people, young and old alike.
