Adam and Eve rejected the love of
God and embraced the lies of the Devil but their son Abel turned out
to be a man that loved and desired to please God. Abel must have
caught a glimpse of the Garden of Eden's beauty through the entrance
and known that he would never have a chance to enter and live in
this paradise but he latched onto God's promise of a future redeemer
that would pay for the sins of the human race and make it possible
to get into a future Garden. Abel knew he was responsible for
maintaining his relationship with God, and when he was old enough to
start sacrificing, he followed the command given to his parents. The
Bible records that his faith was imputed unto him for righteousness.
If this man could exhibit such faith in God, should we not have even
more faith? |
