HUMANITY HATES

gENESIS 4:1-12

 

Key Concept:

Sin leads us to disordered feelings and responses, and to hateful actions.

Adam and Eve, the first image-bearers of God their Creator, sinned and were banished from the garden of Eden. Exiled from the garden, Eve gave birth to two sons, Cain and Abel. As their story unfolds, we find the consequences of sin continue to spread from Adam and Eve's decision to take of the forbidden fruit, not trusting in God's good character and instruction. Thus begins he long story of humanity's pride and sinful ways, revealing our full need for a Savior and Redeemer Who will forgive us of our sins and make us new.

As you examine Genesis 4:1-12:

✞   Reflect upon parts of your life in which you fail to give your all or your best to God.
     
✞   Contemplate how sin derails our sense of purpose and productivity.
