The Offering That Pleases God

Gen. 4: 3,4

And it came in time, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel he also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering;

After having disobeyed God’s command by eating the forbidden fruit from the tree of the garden, Adão and Eve lost their innocence, they lost what is most important they had, it was communion with God, because ambition had taken account of their hearts.

When the serpent came to Eve persuadís, inducís for disobedience. Eva had no malice in his heart, did not perceive the evil that was in that animal. Adão and Eve lived with animals all day to day, it was they who dominated on the garden, God had given them this authority.

Here we see the cowardice of our enemy, the evil cunning with which he-intrusive to undermine the work of God, without measuring consequences, no matter going to hurt, going to kill himself, will destroy families, he wants the work is atrapalhar of God.

Eva without knowing this terrible enemy was giving ear, letting his words reach your heart, and ambition was taking her heart she wanted to have understanding, knowing good and evil, wanted to be like God, as the snake she had proposed.

Eve as dominating as Zealous God’s garden, she could have sent the snake embora, but Eva attempted for the words of the serpent was possessed by Satan, and yielded to what seemed pleasing in his eyes. She ate the fruit and gave also unto her husband, who also ate it.

At that time the devil had made plans to interfere in God, man and woman who were dominant, were dominated by curiosity, had been dominated by what looked good in his eyes.

And disobedience to God intimidade lost, lost contact with God, then were many apologies were many justifications for anything forward. In Genesis 2:17, God had already sentenced the man, saying that the day he ate the forbidden fruit he would surely die, this was the sentence of God, the wages of sin

Adão and Eve now deceived by Satan, should die because they had sinned against God, but God in His infinite mercy, in the place of Adão and Eve killed an animal, saving the lives of the two, and clothed them with animal skin.

And with death, and derramamento blood of this animal, God and announcing the sacrificial expiação would come through Jesus Christ, at that time that animal blood was being Adão salvation and his wife, with the dress made God was with the skin covering the shame that was because of sin.

God could no longer trust the man, and so he and his wife were expelled from the garden of God, to avoid eating the fruit of the tree of life, and live eternally in sin. Adão and Eve were living outside the garden, but brought with them many lessons, they learned that those higueira leaves were not enough to cover his body, they did not last very long. The skin of the animal, gave approval, as God had done.

And the children came first Caim, after Abel, the children learned from parents sacrificial faith that pleased God. I think they went for the children, all the experience they had with God, I think with repentant heart broken, they told the children how they were deceived by the devil, and had to leave everything behind for.

And the children were educated, taught to walk according to God’s will, not yet having the same contact that their parents had with God, learned to worship God. And the children grew up, when young, teen brought an offering to God. Caim suit the fruit of the earth, its offer to the Lord, Abel brought their first sheep they were born.

And God was pleased with the offering of Abel, Caim was saddened and angry countenance descaiu, if he had worked, worked hard on earth, and his offer was rejected.

Abel had offered a lamb with its fat, which I had learned with their parents, who were under the law of God’s atonement, sacrificial law.

It remains for us the apprentice, that God is pleased with the offer of faith, sacrifice, faith, and not supply of human thought, our own efforts, of our works. God did not accept the offer of Caim only because it was fruit of the earth, it’s because thinking Caim be the fruit of their effort, their sweat, their work, God would accept that beautiful basket.

Sometimes man thinks that his effort to do good works, do some prol benfeitoria in the work of God, is enough to please God. If fools who

think so, because God accepted Abel’s sacrifice, which was the first of his flock, which rose as a sweet savor to God.

It was this that Adão and Eve after all experience with God, taught their children, faith, obedience, all who learned directly from After the cause of emotional imbalance of Caim, because I had the trajedias envy that he murdered Abel After receiving the condemnation of God.

Life continued, man continued his career in the world, about trying to serve God the best way, others away from God more and more until that 4 thousand years after I had Adão and Eve that sacrifice had already been announced by God in the garden, Jesus Christ was killed as the Lamb of God, bringing salvation to all mankind.

As Abel allegou and pleased God through the sacrificial lamb, we also in those close to God through Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

When we believe that Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God, when we make the sacrifice of Jesus Christ our salvation, when we offer ourselves to God, by faith, THIS IS THE OFFER HE pleases God, and he accepts our offer.

God bless you,
