To give an answer in-short it would be that Abel had faith in God and Cain did not. The bible tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God. I don't believe that is was the offerings themselves but the offerers. Before the tabernacle was built God told Moses He only wanted those with willing hearts to give. Paul echoes that in Corinthians when he says,"Give according to what you have purposed in your heart." It would not have made any difference to God what Cain had offered because He knew Cain's heart. Sorry I didn't give scripture. Jayell |

3 | Abel,s sacrifice acceptable, Cain's not? | Genesis | Val | 192914 | ||
Although the law did not come until Moses the principle is there as we see when God clothed Adam and Eve after the fall. The blood sacrifice points ahead to the blood sacrifice of Christ the Messiah. Whatever is in the heart, i.e., submission or rebellion comes to the surface in the actions or in this case the type of sacrifice. One point being we must come to God God's way, through the sacrifice of His son. Heb 9:22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. |
