Full Question:

Why did God accept Abel's offering, but not Cain's?

Answer:

Why did God accept Abel's offering, but not Cain’s? Many people all around the world of different castes and different denominations are asking Christians this question. And the fact is that even many Christians don't know its reason, and thus they are not able to give proper and the correct answer to this question. They consider this as an unanswerable question of the Bible, because of their lack of knowledge in the bible .

Actually, the answer of this question is very simple and is clearly written in the Bible along with its reason. It is said in one of the New Testament epistles Hebrew 11:4 "By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings."

We can clearly see that it is because of FAITH that God accepted their offer of Abel and not Cain's. Many people think why faith is such an essential thing even in the case of an offering. It is also mentioned in the Bible very clearly in Hebrew 11.6 that, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."

It is also clear from the Bible that, God like to us more when we performance His will and being obedient than offering Him sacrifices. It is clear in Psalms 40: 6-8 that, "Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart." Also in 1 Samuel 15:22 as, "Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams."

This is not only in the case of Old Testament. Even now, in the period of New Testament God is expecting as to offer Him worship, prayer and everything in faith. He also like us to see become more obedient by obeying His commandments than many sacrifices.

We should also have to notice the great love of God, even if Cain offered a sacrifice, which is of no regard in front of God. God told Cain that, how to lift up countenance to sacrifice better offering next time and He also give warning to Cain that, 'sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it."

We can thank God for we get such an awesome loving God. May God bless all of you to be fruitful with this answer to offer Him sacrifices of faith.
