He was also jealous of Abel’s sheep and wanted them. This brought Adam and Eve greater sorrow, for Cain had chosen wickedness instead of righteousness.Ĭain was jealous that Abel’s offering had been accepted, but his had not. The Lord warned Cain that Satan wanted him and he would come under Satan’s power if he did not obey the Lord’s commandments.Ĭain became even more angry and refused to listen to the Lord. The Lord told Cain that if he would make the right kind of offering, He would accept it. Satan knew Cain’s offering would not be accepted, and he was pleased that he had led someone to do wrong.Ĭain was angry because his offering was not accepted, but the Lord still loved him.

In giving his sacrifice, Cain was obeying Satan, not God. God could not accept Cain’s offering because Cain did not have faith in God. Satan commanded Cain, “Make an offering unto the Lord.” For his sacrifice Cain brought crops from his field. Abel had faith in God he believed that God’s Son, Jesus Christ, would one day sacrifice his life for all mankind. God spoke to Cain, but Cain mocked God, saying, “Who is the Lord that I should know him?” Cain loved Satan more than God.Ībel obediently brought the new born lambs of his sheep and offered them as a sacrifice to the Lord. God spoke to Abel, and Abel loved God and kept his commandments. When the two boys were older, Abel became a keeper of sheep, and Cain became a farmer. He received the priesthood and used it righteously. He followed the teachings and example of his parents. But Cain did not honor the priesthood.Ībel, however, was obedient. Adam had been given the priesthood and had passed this great blessing onto Cain. They loved Cain very much and hoped he would become a righteous man. Cain’s rebelliousness made Adam and Eve very unhappy. He refused to obey God, and chose to follow Satan. As Cain grew, he rebelled against his parents’ teachings. Two of the sons of Adam and Eve were named Cain and Abel. But Satan tempted their children, saying, “Believe it not.” Many listened to Satan. God taught them the gospel, and they taught it to their children.
