Jesus' command to "Remember Lot's wife" is a stark warning against spiritual hesitation. Commentators explain that her looking back wasn't just a glance, but a sign of a divided heart—a yearning for the sinful life and worldly possessions she was leaving behind. Her fate serves as a permanent monument against turning away from God's call to salvation.
