ABEL

Background Of Abel

• the land for fruits and vegetables.
• They both gave sacrifice to God.

Original Sin

• Adam and Eve committed the first sin

• This sin is passed down through them
• All of man kind is forever born with sin

Envy and Jealousy

• When the day came to present a sacrifice to God,
• Abel brought his finest cuts of meat and livestock for sac.
• Cain brought just his average fruit and vegtables
• God accepted Ables offering but not Cains
• Cain allowed his jealously of Able to become anger,and his anger to become hate

THE MURDER OF CAIN

• Instead of proving himself as worthy as Abel
• Cain decided to murder Abel
• By murdering Able, Cain believed God would
• accept his offerings
• Cain's envy had overtaken him

I Am Not My Brother's Keeper

• Later on The Lord looked upon the earth and did not see Abel
• "And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother?"
• And Cain said to God," I am I brothers keeper?"
• God now knew what Cain had done to his brother

• Once God knew what Cain had done he punished him
• God proceeded to tell Cain that whenever he tried
• to till the ground, nothing would grow...ever. God also
• told Cain that he would walk the earth as a fugitive.
• God also marked Cain, so should anyone kill him, --

BANISHMENT (CONTINUED)

• Cain then left the presence of
• God in shame

SIN

• Because Adam and Eve sinned
• forever their lineage would be born
• with sin. This is why there is sin in the
