Having Greater Knowledge of God

Genesis 4

56)  The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering (perhaps because Abel didn’t hold back his best, but gave it to the Lord as thanks for His blessings).

57)  The Lord spoke to Cain, as He did Adam.

58)  The Lord said to Cain,  “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 master it.”  (Good lesson for all of us!)

59)  The Lord spoke to Cain a second time, after he killed Abel.

60)  The Lord asked Cain what he had done, but I think He was giving Cain a chance to confess and repent.  God knows all things.

61)  The Lord told Cain that Abel’s blood was crying out to Him from the ground.

62)  The Lord cursed Cain for killing his brother — a consequence of sin.

63)  The Lord told Cain that if anyone killed him, the murderer would suffer vengeance seven times over.  God put a mark on Cain so that no one would kill him (proving God still loves a sinner).

64)  God granted Eve another child in place of Abel (Seth).

Genesis 5

65)  Adam lived 930 years, and then he died.  (That’s a long time on earth!)

66)  Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away!

67)  Lamech said the ground was still cursed by the Lord … 1,056 years later!
