And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering He had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. (Gen 4:1-5)
Today, we look back at the Cross and worship, knowing the Saviour and what He has already done and having received Him by faith in His finished and perfect work on that cruel Roman cross. We offer ourselves, in humble submission and surrender to Him on His terms, for His work of redemption and Salvation. We minister to the hurting as GOD provides, we disciple one another through His Word, and we proclaim the message of Hope in Jesus Christ to this lost and dying world so that they, like Abel may believe and believing have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Believe His Word and Trust His grace, turning from your sIn and to a Holy GOD for mercy and forgiveness, and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Receive Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, by faith in Him and His free offer of Salvation.
In Christ,
