  1. Building Strong Hearts, Cultivating Deep Life! CAIN A Man Of His Own World! Genesis 4:1-16

  2. 1 John 3:12…. “Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous.” [TNIV]

  3. MAIN POINTS 1. Cain Was A RELIGIOUS Man

  4. Cain had his own ideas about God and about the way God should beapproached and propitiated. Cain had his own religion.

  5. A) Reason For Revelation Since the fall, man’s reasoning powers are often flawed. We can never know God apart from His own personal revelation of Himself.

  6. B) The Beauty Of Blood Hebrews 9:22.... “ …without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness (of sin).” [TNIV]

  7. Abel’s way was God’s way!

  8. C) Trying For Trusting Hebrews 11:4a.... “By faith Abel offered a better sacrifice than Cain did ….” [TNIV]

  9. Cain's idea of salvation.... works, human effort and personal merit. Cain’s creed…. “I’m doing the best I can!”

  10. D) Feelings For Facts Cainfelt justified in what he did. He had good feelings about his altar and offering. Cain was religious butnot righteous!

  11. 2. Cain Was A RESENTFUL Man

  12. A) A Spirit OfIntolerance Genesis 4:4b-6.... “…. 4b The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. ….

  13. …. 6 Then the LORD said to Cain, ‘Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.’” [TNIV]

  14. B) A Spirit OfInsolence Genesis 4:9.... “Then the LORD said to Cain, ‘Where is your brother Abel?’ ‘I don't know,’ he replied. ‘Am I my brother's keeper?’ ” [TNIV]

  15. “insolence” means “Boldly disrespectful in speech or behavior; arrogantly contemptuous.”

  16. Cain's heart was hardened! He was disrespectful of the God who created his parents.

  17. God said that a curse will be overCain and the generation that comes after him!

  18. CONCLUSION Cainis the father of all who preferred their own belief, principles, and opinions to Christ or His Word.
