cain Archives - Page 2 of 3

If I were to ask you when the first sin in the Bible occurs, you might point to Genesis 2 when Adam and Eve eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Yet did you know that their actions in Genesis 2 are not referred to as “sin”?

Sin is not actually mentioned until Genesis 4:7, which is one of the verses we look at in this study.

The Text of Genesis 4:6-7

So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”

In this discussion of Genesis 4:6-7 we look at:

Why Cain becomes Angry
The nature and source of sin
The causes and consequences of sin
The truth about sin

[#54] Genesis 4:4-5 – Why Did God Reject Cain’s Offering?

By Jeremy Myers

61 Comments

Have you ever wondered why God did not accept Cain’s offering in Genesis 4? You have probably heard some sermons on this or have read about it in books. In this study of Genesis 4:4-5, we look at some of the theories of why God rejected Cain’s offering, and then seek an answer to this question by looking at why God accepted Abel’s offering, and what this tells us about Cain’s offering.

The Text of Genesis 4:4-5

Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

In this discussion of Genesis 4:4-5 we look at:

The three theories about why God did not respect Cain’s offering
Why Abel brought an offering in the first place
Why Abel’s offering was not a blood sacrifice
Why God respected Abel’s offering
Why God did not respect Cain’s offering

[#53] Genesis 4:1-3 – Raising Cain

By Jeremy Myers

22 Comments

Have you ever wondered why Cain brought an offering of fruit to God in Genesis 4? Have you wondered what was wrong with Cain’s offering so that God did not accept it?

In Episode 53 of the One Verse Podcast, we look at Genesis 4:1-3 for answers to these questions.

The Text of Genesis 4:1-3

Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the Lord.” Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord.

In this discussion of Genesis 4:1-3 we look at:

The birth of Cain and Abel shows that Adam and Eve were still serving as the Image of God
The story that Cain and Abel grew up hearing
The reason Cain brought an offering of fruit to God
