A careful reading of the Torah’s account clearly indicates that Lot did not deserve to be saved on his own merits alone:
“When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham; and He sent out Lot from the upheaval when He overturned the cities in which Lot lived.” (Gen. 19:29)
Why was Lot not rescued on the basis of his own merits? He certainly did not participate in the infamous Sodomite cruelty towards visitors. Why was he allowed to escape only because “God remembered Abraham"?
