LW..How can a man approach God and be accepted by Him? There are two ways –- the true way and the false way, and these are represented by Cain and Abel and the offerings they brought to the Lord

THE EXERCISE OF FAITH – ABEL
(Scripture Portions: Hebrews 11:1-4; Genesis 4:1-8; Luke 18:10-14)
In this series of studies we shall consider some of the Heroes of Faith in Hebrews 11. This chapter contains the most complete treatise on faith to be found in the Bible, and its biographical illustrations show us faith at work in the lives of a great variety of people. We shall see the presence, the principle, the power and the possibilities of faith. These men and women were all ordinary, sinful people; but they are mentioned because they believed God. Faith is the indispensable quality for which God looks –- look up Hebrews 11:6 and 1 John 5:10. The difference between the Christian and the non-Christian is that in the life of the former the principle of faith is operative, whereas in the life of the latter faith is not present –- look up Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38.
The first man of faith who is mentioned is Abel –- read Hebrews 11:1-4, and compare Genesis 4:1-8. As we look at Abel we see that it was his faith which enabled him to approach God and to worship Him acceptably. Notice that in Hebrews 11:5 we read of Enoch, who walked with God; and in Hebrews 11:7 we read of Noah, who worked for God; but, we first read of Abel, who worshipped God. Worship is the highest function of the human soul, and only as we are able to worship can we effectively walk with and work for God.
How can a man approach God and be accepted by Him? There are two ways –- the true way and the false way, and these are represented by Cain and Abel and the offerings they brought to the Lord. Cain was rejected because his offering was not acceptable to God. Abel was accepted because the offering he brought was acceptable to God. We are all like Abel or Cain –- saved or lost, believers or unbelievers, Christians or not Christians. How did Abel exercise faith in the Lord, faith which made him acceptable to the Lord, enabled him to worship and brought the assurance of salvation?who are you,Cain or Abel?
We continue from here in the next part....just ruminate on the one that has been revealed.... God bless you.
