Bible Question:
Genesis 4 Why did God disrespect Cain's offering? |
Bible Answer: Gen 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. 4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: Here begins the sacrificial offerings of the 'firstfruits' (firstlings) by Abel, which is a very important act of 'faith' also by Abel. The offering here by Cain says nothing of 'firstfruits', and his offering was of the ground, not of the flock. So possibly Cain just brought some produce, not even his 'firstfruits' or best, and thought it good enough for God. You'll notice from here on, Abel's type of sacrifice of the firstfruits of the sheep was the standard which God later told Moses to write down, and the method for atonement to be used by the priests for sins. Since Christ also was sacrificed for us on the cross, shedding His blood, Jesus became the replacement for this animal sacrifice, for one and all time (Heb.9; 10:10). None other Blood can give us Salvation. (In my 'opinion', even though God had not given the 'Seed' of the woman The Law through Moses yet here with Cain and Abel, I believe that Adam did know, similar to Enoch who 'was not', also knew and prophesied about the coming destruction by the flood of Noah's time. In other words, how else would Abel know the process of sacrifice which would please God. And if Abel knew, then why not also Cain?) Gen 4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering He had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 6 And the LORD said unto Cain, "Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him." Hope this helps...Pastor Tony |
