The Two Brothers - One who loved much & one who didn't

Whence came the idea of offering sacrifices to God as Cain and Abel did? It must have
been taught to them, whether in Eden or not. Sacrifice is a way of worship but worship is total, every moment of life for it is giving worth to God, as well as to Man and the
creation. The idea of the human race being abandoned because of its fall is untrue. Genesis 3:15 shows that hope was a gift from the first. The primal couple was ejected from Eden for its own good (3:22-24). Expelled from Eden, yet they were all-the couple and their children-‘in the presence of the Lord' (Gen. 4:14, 16). So then, the primeval family knew of sacrifice and its meaning. Sacrifice has the elements of fellowship with God (cf. I Cor. 10:18-22), propitiation (I John 4:10; Lev. Chs 1-6; 17:11) and thanksgiving. Some insist that Cain should have brought a bloody sacrifice (cf. Heb. 9:22). If so, then Cain-‘a tiller of the field'-would not barter with his brother for an animal victim. Perhaps this was from pride, but in any case it would appear it was the attitude of Cain that made his offering unacceptable (cf. Psa. 51:16-17).
