Cain And Abel's Offering

Ephesians 6:7

"With good will doing service, as to

the Lord, and not to men:"

      After Eden, Adam and Eve gave birth to two boys; First Cain and then Abel. Abel keep sheep, and Cain tilled the ground.  Now time had passed and Cain brought an offering of fruit of the ground, before the Lord. Abel also brought an offering, he brought the firstlings from his flock and of the fat there of. The Lord had respect for Abel's offering, but he had no respect for Cain's offering.Why? 

      It was not because Cain's offering was bloodless. Many of The Old Testament offerings were bloodless (as meal and meat offerings). The difference was in the hearts of the two men. Abel offered in faith, while Cain did not. "By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh" (Heb. 11:4). 

      Respect = Faith, God seen and felt that in Abel but not in Cain. Only when we offer in faith do our sacrifices and service of men please God. "Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil; Learn to do well; seek judgment, relive the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow" (Is. 1:16-17). 

Amen!
