Genesis 4:8 contains the account of Cain murdering his brother Abel. This is the first death in Scripture and reveals something significant about death and violence.

If you have been listening to my podcast for the past year, you may recall that as we were working our way through Genesis 3, I kept mentioning the six foundational and revolutionary truths from Genesis 2, 3, and 4. We looked at the first 5 of these, and then I haven’t really mentioned too much more about them. So maybe you were thinking, “Hey! What about the sixth?”

Well, that is what we are finally getting to today. Genesis 4:8 contains the sixth and final revolutionary and foundational truth. Understanding this will help you understand the Bible, God, yourself, your relationships, politics, economics, history, and pretty much everything else that goes on in the world.

The Text of Genesis 4:8

Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.

In this discussion of Genesis 4:8 we look at:

The murder of Abel by Cain
Why the first death in Scripture is a fratricide
The sixth foundational and revolutionary truth from Genesis 2–4
What Genesis 4:8 teaches us about God, ourselves, Scripture, history, politics, economics, and pretty much everything else in life.

[#55] Genesis 4:6-7 – The First Sin in the Bible

By Jeremy Myers

15 Comments

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

[#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

Today we begin to look at Genesis 4. And rather than dive right into the text, I thought I would first tell you a story. Hearing this story will help you better understand what is going on in this critical chapter of the Bible.

[#51] Genesis 3 Summary – The Redemption of Sin

By Jeremy Myers

1 Comment

This episode of the One Verse Podcast provides a summary of what we have seen from Genesis 3. There is still some new stuff in this episode, so if you have listened to all the previous episodes on Genesis 3, you will still want to listen to this one.

But if you are just joining us on the One Verse Podcast and have missed most of the previous episodes, this one will get you up to speed. Of course, since what I share today might be a bit challenging, you might also want to go back and listen to some of the episodes from Genesis 3 to get a further explanation and understanding of what we discuss today.

In this Summary of Genesis 3 we look at:

The basic question “What has gone wrong with the world?”
The fact that Genesis 3 does not talk about sin
What God’s response to Adam and Eve in Genesis 3 reveals what God thinks about our own disobedience
Three truths about sin that most of us fail to understand
