Okay, I will call you.

Toyinjones2020:

I agree completely with what you wrote while I disagree with the submission of the op
The bible says God rejected Cain and his offering while he has respect unto Abel and his offering.This brings us to the fact that God is more interested in the person and not necessarily the offering.Do you remember the widow that Jesus commended despite sacrificing little

If Cain has good heart, then he would have offered a right sacrifice. In order words, Abel wouldn't have offered wrong sacrifice even if he was a farmer because his heart is good. For instance, he would have borrowed from Cain or use trade by barter with Cain, if Cain was the farmer. In a nutshell, Cain offering is wrong because his heart is wrong.

In the present times, how do you know God have accepted our sacrifices or reject it?

The evidence is found in the heart, I would like you to first come in contact with the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Please visit www.bjnewlife.org to download our gospel series titled "Have you truly been born again of the water and the Spirit?" and "Return to the gospel of the water and the Spirit"

Moblux:


I repeat, it was the condition of his heart. What was alluded to in Hebrews lend credence to this,"...by faith Abel offered a better sacrifice ". What makes it better is not spilling of blood. When David poured water that was fetch him by his men, was that not a sacrifice?

As a farmer that he was, would you have expected him to give what does not belong to him? If Abel were to be Cain, his sacrifice would still be acceptable cos of his heart.

If Cain has good heart, then he would have offered a right sacrifice. In order words, Abel wouldn't have offered wrong sacrifice even if he was a farmer because his heart is good. For instance, he would have borrowed from Cain, if Cain was the farmer. In a nutshell, Cain offering is wrong because his heart is wrong.

Mankind, who had eaten the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, came to have the different standard for good and evil from God’s. Then, which is correct, God’s Word or our judgment? Our standard is always relative and selfish. Therefore we should cast away our own ideas and simply trust and follow God’s Word focusing on “What does the Word of God say?” Ignoring God’s Word and seeking self-righteousness is Cain’s faith and religious belief. Abel put his faith in the Word of God he heard from his father, Adam, and offered the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. But self-conceited Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. God accepted Abel’s offering but refused Cain’s offering. It is God’s lesson that faith in man-made religions cannot bring salvation.

1 Peter 3:20-21 "who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

God bless u for this..

And bless you too

We must believe in the sacrifice of God.

(Genesis 4:3-7)

"And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the LORD. Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the LORD respected Abel and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. So the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”

God wanted to bless both Abel and Cain but Cain didn't offer the right sacrifice to God. He offered the sacrifice of his own devotion and efforts. God told Cain 'if you offer the right sacrifice I will accept you. Why are you angry? Shouldn't you do the right thing and let Me bless you?" But Cain stubbornly left God.

Like this, many Christians are offering the sacrifice of their efforts to God hoping that God would accept their sacrifices, they offer money, devotion, religious piety, daily prayer of repentance. God cannot accept such sacrifices, if we want God to accept us to His kingdom we must offer the correct sacrifice. This is evident, both Cain and Abel believed in God but they offered different sacrifices, God therefore respected one and rejected the other.

When Adam and Eve committed sin by disobeying God, God saved them from their sins by passing their sins to an animal and killing it. With this, God clothed them with the tunics of skin made from this animal.

This means that God clothed them with His righteousness, Adam and Even became the first people to receive the remission of sin. But before God made for them tunics of skin, Adam and Eve had clothed themselves by making coverings for themselves by sewing fig leaves, however upon sunshine the leaves would wither away exposing their unclothedness once more.

Therefore God clothed them with animal skin which is long lasting. Between the righteousness of God and human righteousness which one is better? Of course God's righteousness is better! This is the faith Abel learned from his parent Adam and Eve but Cain didn't learn this teaching on how God saved his parents when they fell into sin, instead he followed his human thinking. Abel became a righteous man by listening and believing in what God did to save their parents.

Likewise in the New Testament God allowed John the Baptist to pass the whole sins of the world to the head of Jesus Christ during baptism in the Jordan River and have him crucified on the cross shedding His blood. We must accept this sacrifice of God by faith and receive God's blessings, let us not become stubborn like Cain. God saved us through water, blood and the Spirit.

As it is written in (1 John 5:6)
"This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth."
Water means Jesus baptism (1 Peter 3:21) and blood means His death on the cross and the Spirit means that Jesus is God the Almighty who came in human flesh to save us.

This is the same gopel Jesus taught Nicodemus, that one must be "born of water and Spirit" to enter the kingdom of God (John 3:5)

1 John 5:6-8 "This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one."

1 John 5:6-8 "This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one."

1 John 5:6-8 "This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one."

How did Satan rule over the world? Satan caused humankind to doubt the Word of God and planted the seeds of disobedience in their hearts. Satan tries to turn people into his servants by deceiving them into disobeying the Word of God. However, Jesus came into this world and blotted out all their sins with the water of His baptism and His blood on the Cross: He overcame Satan and blotted out all the sins of the world. This occurred because Jesus Christ was the Savior of sinners. He became our Savior because He came by water and blood.
