Subject: Abel,s sacrifice acceptable, Cain's not? |
Bible Note: 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. |
