The sacrifices symbolize the difference between attempting to work one's way to heaven represented by Cain’s offering and the realization that salvation is by grace alone, made available to us only through the merits of a blood sacrifice which is the symbolism of Abel’s offering.   Abel’s offering pointed toward eventual salvation through the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. There was a difference in the offerings they brought: Abel’s was a more excellent sacrifice than Cain’s.   “…the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:   But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect…” (Genesis 4:4-5).    Cain’s offering was only a sacrifice of acknowledgment that God was the creator.   But, Abel brought a sacrifice of atonement, for his ...

What crucial truths are taught from these verses and the symbolism found there? (See Gen. 2:7 .)

I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty ...
