    Heaven's Heroes: Abel Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Sep 27, 2003
    based on 49 ratings
     | 9,429 views

    Because Abel believed, he offered a better sacrifice; because he offered a better sacrifice, he obtained righteousness; because he obtained righteousness, he is for all the ages a living voice saying, "Righteousness is by faith."

    [The outline was borrowed from John MacArthur’s Hebrews commentary.] Hebrews 11:4—“By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it HE BEING DEATH YET SPEAKETH.” James Moffatt wrote, ...read more

    This is a Christmas message dealing with the destructive power of anger. It can ruin what God wants to do in our lives during the holidays if we do not control it.

    Maybe one of the most disturbing passages in the Bible is the story that tells how a man committed the first murder against his own brother. Just the very horror and evil of such an act is disturbing to say the least. It is a story that chills us to our

    1 CAIN WANTED TO DENY THAT HUMAN NATURE IS EVIL HE FELT HE WAS BASICALLY GOOD Cain wanted to believe that he was basically a “good Joe.” He did what was morally right. He didn’t “drink, smoke or chew, or run with girls that do.” No one would want to admit that they are basically a bad person. We ...read more

    Cain’s offering and Abel’s offering look similar on the surface but are distinguished from one another on the basis of the faith in their hearts. The great question this story asks is where our offerings fall, closer to Cain’s or closer to Abel’s?
