Genesis 19:17

Look not behind thee He must not loiter by the way; stay not in all the plain For it would all be made one dead sea; he must not take up short of the place of refuge appointed him; escape to the mountain Such are the commands given to those who, through grace, are delivered out of a sinful state. 1st, Return not to sin and Satan, for that is looking back to Sodom. 2d, Rest not in the world, for that is staying in the plain.

3d, Reach toward Christ and heaven, for that is escaping to the mountain, short of which we must not take up.
