CHAPTER 4

CAIN AND ABEL WERE THE FIRST TWO SONS
THAT ADAM AND EVE HAD.

ADAM AND EVE HAD MANY, MANY CHILDREN AND

LIVED FOR OVER 900 YEARS!

GOD USED THEM TO POPULATE THE EARTH.

GENESIS CHAPTER 5.
 Cain was born first. Cain was a tiller of the
ground, this means he was a farmer.

Abel was a shepherd. He took care of sheep and

animals of like nature.
God showed Adam and Eve and their boys the value of
bringing a living creature for sacrifice to the Lord.

Parents are commanded by God to teach their children

about the Lord. Children are commanded to listen!

Ephesians 6:4
 God was well pleased with Abels offering.

God was not happy with Cains offering. The

Bible says that Cain was very angry with
Gods response.

Cain chose to bring his best to God, instead of

obeying his word.

What was happening within Cains heart?

Eph.2:8-9
The Bible says our hearts are very
wicked.

Jeremiah chapter 17 verse 9

 God sees our sinfulness.
Romans 3:23

God questioned Cain about the state of his heart

and gave him a loving warning. If he would
turn from his sinfulness he would be accepted.

Are we any different from Cain?
 Cain rejected Gods kindness.

A wrong attitude produced a wrong action.

 God knew what Cain had done, He gave Cain
opportunity to confess his wicked deed, by asking
what had happened to Abel.
Cain replied, I know not, am I my brothers baby
sitter?

CAN WE HIDE NUMBERS

OUR SIN 32:23
FROM
GOD?
Cain was still not willing to
repent.

God cursed Cain from

the face of the earth.

Even then Cain complained

about his punishment and
felt sorry for himself
instead of being sorry for
his sin.
God is a God of love, but he must
punish sin.

GOD SHOWED KINDNESS TO CAIN BY
GIVING HIM A MARK, SO THAT ANY
WHO FOUND HIM WOULD NOT KILL
HIM.

HOW HAS GOD SHOWED HIS KINDNESS

TO US TODAY?
 Without the shedding of blood there is no
forgiveness. Heb. 9:22

Do we need to sacrifice animals to God today?

 THE SON OF GOD
WHO LOVE ME AND
GAVE HIMSELF
FOR ME.

GALATIONS 2:20
SADLY THE BIBLE SAYS: CAIN WENT
OUT FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE
LORD.
Whos example will you follow?

Cain or Abel

Gods way? Your way?

John 14:6
