Abel kept sheep and Cain worked the soil.
Cain and Abel both brought offerings to God but Abel was favoured by God because he brought the best of what he had.
Cain got well jealous and ended up killing Abel. Naughty Cain!
God tells Cain off and punishes him by making him a restless wanderer. Cain went out from the LORD's presence
-God wants us to trust in his provision and not be greedy. He wants our best.
-We all have different gifts to offer God - Am I giving God the best of what I've got?
-Sin results in Cain leaving God's presence but God still protects him.
-Where did Cain's wife come from? Perhaps not mentioned in male lineage, Adams life is summarised, not all offspring are mentioned?
-Mankind briefly recognise their dependance on God.
In Genesis 5 we learn that...
-We can relate to God because we are made in his likeness/image.
-Male and female are different
-We are blessed! God has blessed us even though we are totally undeserving and don't even thank him.
-What happened to Enoch and what did it look like for him to walk with God?... and then be taken away? Did he not die?
-Am I walking with God? Do I ever walk away?
GENESIS 6 tells us about how...
-Man got greedy and went against the will of God. They disobeyed God.
-God was grieved and pained at man's evil heart.
-Only Noah found favour with God, he walked with God
-God doesn't like violence
-He had a plan
-Noah was obedient to EVERYTHING God said.
That'll do for now though have heard a lot from God on his faithfulness and deliverance from reading Genesis. Will fill you in more very soon
Lord of all creation, Father God, perfect Saviour. I pray to you my God asking with all my heart that you will reveal yourself again to me. Give me a passion for your truth, help me to walk with you and never to walk away. Let me be faithful. God you are so good and I put my trust in you to keep me on the right path. God let me be open to hearing your voice. Let your Church know how dependent we are on you. This breath we are breathing right now comes from you, it ALL comes from you, so let us have thankful hearts daily. Let us remember your goodness and faithfulness to us and let our lives display your glory for those who don't know you to see your light and be drawn to you because of our lives. Teach us and guide us Father. Thank you Jesus. Amen
