Lesson from Abel

Lesson from Abel

Genesis 4:2-7

Vs 3 in the course of time...why? Did Cain take time to get a heart to want to give?

When you pick fruit at the grocery store what do you do? What would the first fruits look like? What was Cain giving God?

Vs 4 Abel also brought an offering. Both were giving to God on some level. Is making an offering enough?

What was Abel offering God?

In what ways do we give God less than our best?

What does it look like to give good our first fruits?

Vs 6 Why would Cain be angry? Jealous or upset that his offering wasn't good enough?

Sometimes we set limits on how much we give of our lives to God and when God doesn't look on us with favor we get angry and resentful towards Him.

Maybe Cain thought that what he was giving should have been enough?

Vs 7 "just do what is right"...seems too simple? What is God telling Cain here? There is a connection between allowing sin to master us and not giving to God. The offering we bring to God exposes where our hearts are.


In what ways do you need to offer God more?
