Sin has been a problem since Adam and Eve
“4 Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, “I have obtained a male child with the help of the Lord.” 2 And again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a cultivator of the ground. 3 So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the Lord from the fruit of the ground. 4 Abel, on his part also brought an offering, from the firstborn of his flock and from their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering; 5 but for Cain and his offering He had no regard. So Cain became very angry and his face was gloomy. 6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why is your face gloomy? 7 If you do well, will your face not be cheerful? And if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it.” 8 Cain talked to his brother Abel; and it happened that when they were in the field Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.”
Sin is crouching at the door
And it’s desire is for YOU!
This is true for everyone, even today.
How do we keep sin away?
Cain tried to do it half way and that is never good
Unfortunately, for many Believers today, we do the same thing
We know what we are supposed to do, but we don’t
Think about this if God was not pleased with Cain is He pleased with us?
Cain gave, but not of the first fruits
Today we call that deflection.
God asked Cain, “Why are you angry?”
BUT……
Instead of changing our failures, we dwell and anger burns
When we dwell, we draw sin closer
You see, sin may be crouching at the door
But we are the ones that let it in!
Cain let his anger burn until he opened the door
This anger led to the sin of murder of his brother
You never know how fully the sin will consume you
Therefore do not open the door, don’t even dwell on it
In our world today it’s all about ME
Life was created to be all about Him!
When we don’t put God first, sin is crouching
But if we do well, we can keep sin away through God
Are you a sinner that needs a savior?
Do well and call on Christ today!
