Luke 17.

4 "If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him."

It easily happens that we hurt other people bye what we say or do. And often we regret it after we thought about it. (my piano teaches said his today too.) Often these things happen when we are for example tired, unhappy etc. But after regretting it it is also hard to say it to the particular person. That is the reason why one of the character traits of the fruit of the spirit is "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,23 gentleness and self-control."(Gal 5:22,23). Gentleness is something really nice and admirable.

The both examples of justice people leaving an evil world and escaping from the destruction and got saved are nice. I might point out one difference between these two examples which can representing two different groups.
On the one hand we have Noah who used up many many (is it recorded how many?) years to prepare and built a arch in which he can escape the flood. In order to escape he had to prepare, work and follow the instructions given by God. Only when he did the work and finished his building on the arch he could be saved. Because God used his own hands to save him.
On the other hand we have Lot who lived in the evil city Sodom which was later destroyed with the other town Gomorra. He lived there for a long time. He did not any preparations and was dragged out of the city. He called the people in the town his brother (1.mo19.7) and just after he left on the same day fire came down and destroyed both cities.
It seems that Lot was a last-minute saved person while Noah was booked for a long time and he had to wait quite long.
But it does not matter how you are finally saved. The main thing is that there will two sides and possibilities. Either you are dead or you are alive and saved.

"26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulphur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day no-one who is on the roof of his house, with his goods inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no-one in the field should go back for anything. 32 Remember Lot's wife!"
