Sin is waiting.
It's ready to pounce like a tiger stalking its prey.
"... if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it." (Genesis 4:6, ESV)
Cain had no reason to be angry with God.
His offering was not acceptable.
God is very interested in our offering.
He pays attention to the attitude and spirit behind our gift.
We have to have a right relationship with our brother before we can bring anything to the offer God (Matthew 5:23-24).
If we do well - God will accept us and our offering (Genesis 4:5).
If we do not well - sin is waiting and ready to pounce on us.
"present your bodies a living sacrifice" (Romans 12:1)
"let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually" (Hebrews 13:15)
"By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain..." (Hebrews 11:4
WHAT KIND OF AN OFFERING WILL GOD RECEIVE TODAY?
