John Gill emphasizes that the Lord knows how to deliver the godly from their afflictions and tribulations, just as He did for Noah and Lot. He reassures believers that God is both able and willing to support them through trials, ultimately delivering them in His perfect timing. Conversely, Gill warns of God's justice in reserving the unjust for punishment on the day of judgment, highlighting the distinction between the righteous and the unrighteous. This sermon serves as a reminder of God's mercy towards the faithful and the inevitable justice awaiting those who live unrighteously.
