"And God said to him in a dream, “Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart. For I also withheld you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her." v.6
Read chapter 20.
Again Abraham tells a different ruler that Sarah is his sister than his wife. Does he still have the same fear? Does he not remember what he learned the first time? Saying she's his sister isn't a lie because we see they're half brother/sister. God has grace with Abimilech and keeps him from sinning because God knew he took Sarah out of a clear conscious. If Abimilech took Sarah as his wife that would have destroyed the lineage and promise of the see to come though Abraham and Sarah and ultimately Jesus Christ; another attempt to Satan to stop the promise of the Savior. When have you turned again to old ways after having been taught by God of better ways? Abimilech fears God and responds to what God told him to do. How do you respond after you've sinned out of a "clear conscious"?
