Commentary on Genesis 18:25

Theological / Devotional

Shall not the Judge? God alone is the Judge of all men. Addressing Him thus, Abraham gives evidence that he knew the One before whom he stood to be the Supreme Being. Now he appealed, not to God’s grace and pardon, but to His absolute judicial equity. This principle had been demonstrated by God in His extension of probation for the Amorites another 400 years. Their iniquity was “not yet full” (ch. 15:16). When God consented to spare Sodom if only ten righteous men could be found within its gates, He followed the same principle.
