So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had lived.
Genesis 19:29 English Standard Version
The story of Lot's rescue from Sodom is a story of rescue by association. Lots had not particularly endeared himself to God, yet for Abram's sake God rescued him. And Lot's wife and daughters were even less close to God, yet for Abram's sake through Lot they also were rescued. And even the daughters' fiances were offered safety through Lot through Abram.
When you do good works and live uprightly and humble before God, you bring blessing not only upon yourself but upon your loved ones. It's like blessing ripples throughout your social circle.
