  "textContent": "Abraham told Abimelech Sarah was his sister, so he'd taken her to be his wife. Before he does anything, God comes to him in a dream to warn him.\n\nGod keeps Abimelech from sinning thus resulting in him bringing fear of God to him and his people and providing for Abraham and Sarah.\n\nReaction: Arose early to obey\n\n<blockquote>\"You are a dead man...for the penalty of your sin is death\"</blockquote>\n\nGod comes and prevents the sin from increasing - he protects Sarah where Abraham should have done, but more than that - Abimelech's nation now fears God. For God always recieves the glory.\n\nAbimelech is honest to God and God acknowledges Abimelech's honesty and integrity, but makes it clear it is His doing - \"I prevented you from sinning\"\n\n_Lead me not to sin against you and save me from my faults becoming greater sin. Amen_",
