Instead he took out his anger on his righteous brother, Abel. Cain was also warned that if he refused to do the right thing-sin was ready to consume him.Ĭain disregarded God’s admonition and warning.

This rejection made Cain angry and God admonished Cain to do the right thing and his sacrifice would be accepted. God favored Abel’s sacrifice, but He didn’t extend that same grace to Cain. When it was time to offer sacrifices to God, Cain brought fruit from the ground and Abel brought the fat portions from some of the firstborn. The next son was Abel who was a shepherd. The first son was Cain and he was a farmer. Sometime after Adam and Eve sinned against God and were forced out of the Garden of Eden, they began to have children. The other son, Cain, demonstrated his faith in works leading to his sinful demise. One son demonstrated his faith and was received from God. For the first two sons of Adam and Eve, their actions spoke of their level of faith in God. It’s often said that our actions speak louder than words.
