Abel and Cain Bible Story

The first two sons that were born to Adam and Eve were named Cain and Abel. Cain was a gardener and Abel was a shepherd tending the sheep. At that time, they would bring sacrifices to God to show their love for Him. One time, Cain gave God a gift, or a sacrifice, of the fruit he grew. Abel gave God one of the very best of his flock. God was very happy with Abel's gift, but he wasn't very pleased with Cain's gift.

You may say to yourself, why did God like Abel's gift more than Cain's? It probably didn't mean anything one way or another to Cain that he gave up some fruit for God. But can you imagine Abel having a favorite little lamb and choosing to sacrifice it because he loved God more? Abel must have loved that little lamb a lot for God to be so delighted with the gift. All of this made Cain very jealous, so one day out in the field, he killed his brother Abel.

It would be like it being your birthday and you have two sons. One brought you a gift with every penny of his allowance to show you his love and the other gave you an avocado out of the fridge that you bought. Though you love them both, you would be more pleased with the son that sacrificed his own to give it to you.

This angered the Lord and He said to Cain, I know you killed Abel. To punish you for what you've done, I will cause anything you plant not to grow. You will be a drifter, and run from place to place because you will not have a home and you will hide your face from me.

Cain begged God not to punish him so harshly. He pleaded that anyone who found him would try and kill him. So God put a mark on Cain to protect him from being killed, and said that anyone who tried to kill Cain would be punished seven times as much.

Having no children to carry on the bloodline, they had another son named Seth which carried on the bloodline ...

Abel and Cain Bible Story Summary

How often do we find ourselves being selfish with our sacrifices to God? That's right we are to give sacrifices to God. Not out of obligation but out of Love. He has said He does not want us to go out and slaughter an animal that is already His, just cuz Abel did. What Abel did he did from his heart. What God wants is for us to sacrifice our time and to Love one another willingly. Not much to ask huh?
