Subject: God's Regard for Cain's Offering? |
Bible Note: Hey Andy: I don't remember if I've welcomed you to the forum. So welcome to the forum! Good post, and I would agree with you about half; Being that, God most definitely judges the heart; But He also stresses, throughout Scripture, the need for a real honest to goodness flesh and BLOOD sacrifice, for the atonement of sin. Thus it is really "both" things we are looking at here; That being the heart of the one that is making the offer, and the understanding of the one presenting the offer, that, it is for the atonement of sin, and that only the blood, can make that atonement. They were looking forward to the Cross of Christ, and we can look back, and see the sacrifice as something so very vital to salvation. From the beginning God had set up a plan to show us how very serious He is, about sin. If veggies coulda done it, then why His Son? Good to have you on the forum son, I appreciate the simple honesty of your profile. God bless John |
