hey
Sin left unchecked unravels love for one another— while God’s love is unreal for the other.
1. Why does God accept Abel’s offering and reject Cain’s?
“In the course of time”
- We see Cain “brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord.”

- We see Abel “brought an offering [of] fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock.”
“The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor.”
You will only GIVE your BEST to the ONE you LOVE the MOST.
2. How do you know if you have Cain’s heart and faith framework?
3. What does God do to love Cain?
(1) God’s Love Corrects without Crushing

(2) God’s Love Questions without Condemning

(3) God’s Love gives second chances for repentance

(4) God’s Love punishes unconfessed and unrepentant sin

(5) God’s Love gives common mercy and grace even though they don’t deserve it
“Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.”
4. Where does the human race go from here?
Are you part of Cain’s line?
Are you part of Abel/Seth’s line?
