Faith In Action “Different Hearts”

Cain and Able even though they were brothers, they were two completely different people. Abel was more devoted to The Lord than Cain and brought an offering to the Lord that pleased Him. Cain’s offering, however, did not find favor with The Lord. Cain grew angry and downcast. Genesis Chapter 4 Verse 1 to 25.

The Lord warned Cain that sin was crouching at his door and desired to control Him, Sin can do that, if we take our eyes off Our Lord and Our Savior. Cain gave into sin and killed his brother Abel. The Lord asks Cain where Abel was? The Lord already knew, but was prompting Cain to confess what He had done.

God preferred Abel’s offering not because He liked meat more than vegetables or shepherds more than farmers, but because Abel’s offering was made in faith.

Hebrews 11 Verse 4: “By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain did”.

Abel offered the best of his flock, and Cain offered only some of his produce.

We can’t hide anything from God. we were created to be sons and daughters of Our Loving creator God, but because of sin {wrong-doing against Him}, some are now living like orphans and slaves.

Sins {wrong-doings} separate us fro a loving God, Confession and acceptance of all He has done for us, gives us adoption into His family, and sets us free from the power of sin, that will always tries to separate us from Him.

Our Christian lives should be more than just going through the motions. Our Christian life should be built on the fact, we were created for relationship with God. So anything but our best, in what we do and  give to Him, should even be an offense to us.

God Bless.
