Faith Vs. Works (Cain and Abel)

Conflict between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman was predicted in Gen. 3:15 and we see that tragically play out within the very first family. Cain was of that wicked one, a child of the devil (1 John 3:12) and Abel was a child of God. We also see two competing approaches to God that would continue down to the present time. The way of faith and the blood sacrifice versus the bloodless way of human works. Powerful Gospel passage!
