Bargaining with God: Genesis 18:16-33

When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way.

From the heights near Mamre, Sodom was visible in the valley below—the cities of the plain, green and prosperous, watered by the Jordan's overflow. Lot lived there, somewhere in those streets.

Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him."

God decided to share his plans. The friend of God would not be kept in the dark.
