Genesis 4:1 - 4:17

GenesisSteve Gregg
In this analysis of Genesis 4:1-17, Steve Gregg explores the conflict between Cain and Abel and the repercussions of Cain's disobedience. While God demonstrated favor towards Abel's offering, Cain's anger towards God's rejection of his offering suggests entitlement to God's acceptance. The mark that God placed on Cain prohibited anyone from harming him and Genesis 4 outlines the consequences of Cain's sinful act. Ultimately, Steve Gregg concludes that God's invitation to salvation is open to all who follow His prescribed way through Christ without the need for exclusivity.
