To understand this mystery, we must go back to Eden. Our first parents sinned, therefore, to cover his sin God made an animal sacrifice whose blood would be shed as a kind of sacrifice foreordained before the foundation of the world and accomplished in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. God demanded a blood sacrifice, because without "the shedding of blood is no remission of sin." This principle was taught to Cain and Abel on time for their parents, who by the mouth of God heard their demands for sin.
is God who set the foundations and modelo, el hombre obedece por fe. La fe verdadera produce una obediencia correcta y ofrece un sacrificio excelente. Esta es la base de la verdadera adoración.
Caín escuchó la enseñanza correcta también, pero su fe era una fe muerta. Su corazón torcido quiso crear otro camino para acercarse a Dios, otra forma para adorar. La fe muerta desarrolla obras muertas. Por lo cual, en franca rebelión contra Dios, establece la religión humanista, la del hombre, la de las obras, la de la justificación personal, pero no sobre la base de lo establecido por Dios.
La excelencia del sacrificio de Abel estriba en su obediencia a lo establecido por Dios, esta se conformó al formato de Dios y Dios se agradó it because their faith led him to obey.
Why God emphasizes the attitude of Cain?. God knew that a change would produce a change in attitude of sacrifice.
is impossible to believe that is the attitude of man net, regardless of the sacrifice offering, which acknowledges God to justify the human.
If so, God himself would be against. Some say: No matter what you offer the matter is that you have a good attitude.
No matter what you do if you are sincere.
I'm good and that I have.
Good attitude is not enough if that attitude leads to move the foundation laid by God.
For Cain and Abel, their offerings were of a guy. It was an offering for sin. I do not think that neither one nor the other was an offering of thanksgiving, the two sacrifices were made with a common purpose: to atone for the sin to approach God.
For it was necessary, a bloody sacrifice essential, otherwise the bloody sacrifice of Christ on the cross, the prototype of Abel's sacrifice would have been unnecessary.
If the human foundation for the grace of God was invalid because it is accompanied by a good attitude, the sacrifice of Christ would be invalid and would be over.
Moreover God says to Cain: "Why are you angry and why is thy countenance fallen? If you do what is right "would not be accepted? What was wrong with Cain did?. The trouble referred to God is not "their attitude", but "to their offering."
Cain's offering was bad since before he become angry with God. His attitude was after the offering by the denial. The offering was bad, so it was rejected by God, his attitude was bad when God expressed his rejection of that offering.
This is corroborated by the Bible when it says: "Not as Cain who was the evil one and murdered his brother. And why kill him? Because their deeds were evil and his brother, fair?. The issue is of "works bad "and" just works "making direct reference of the causes why he killed his brother Abel, or the two sacrifices.
The issue is a matter of offering, not attitude, the issue is not attitude, but of faith.
So it is impossible that the offering of Cain represents the rites and sacrifices of the Mosaic Law, because it is said that these were "good" because it served their purpose within the dispensation in which they were established. In addition, a bad thing can not be representative or typical of a good.
Abel's offering was "excellent" before it was accepted by God. Was accepted by God because it was excellent and it was excellent because it fit as prescribed by God. So reveals a poor offering and an offering excellent. Bad because it does not conform to God's plan, excellent because it fits the plan of God.
God adds: "But if you do not, sin is at the door ..." Then
sin was in the execution of something objective, something he did wrong. His bad attitude, subjective element was derived from the evil of their sacrifice, objective fact.
then conclude that the true gift that God accepts and justifies the man is one that meets the demands of divine justice: from God, the provision of the offering, part of the offeror: faith, good attitude and a sacrifice excellent.
Cain represents the worship of self, the "man", human effort resulted in dead works., Cain begins the religion of justification by works. At Abel we have the beginnings of a true worshiper, faith on the basis of the promise given by God to our first parent who is projected at Calvary historically and experimentally in the heart of man when he dares to believe.
Paul says, "No one can lay any foundation" (1 Cor. 3:11)
"The way of Cain" (Jude 11) began with his poor offering and has persisted través de la historia representado en todos aquellos que quieren establecer su propia justicia en menoscabo de la justicia divina.
La Fe de Abel, comenzó con su ofrenda excelente y ha corrido paralelamente con el “camino de Caín” a través de la historia, representado en aquellos que por la fe recibimos la justicia de Dios en Cristo, pero sin cruzarse ni unirse, producto de la incompatibilidad que hay en esencia, naturaleza y fines.
