Soon after the fall of man, and God's judgment placed upon creation, a manifestation of the ugliness of sin takes place in Adam's posterity. Adam and Eve begin their family, bearing Cain and his brother Abel. Cain was a farmer. Abel was a sheepherder. Both knew the religious obligations taught to them by their parents, which is why we read of the account of their religious offerings in Genesis 4. Cain's mind, though, was not upon worshiping God, but upon worshiping himself. From God's rejection of his offering, Cain's sin consumed him, and instead of doing what was right, he became enraged toward his brother, Abel, and killed him. God passed judgment upon Cain, even though he apparently never learned his lesson. It is a lesson we can all learn from, whether willfully or amid our own religious departure from the presence of God.
