Genesis chapter 4 verse 8

cane spoke to able his brother and when they were in the field

Kane rose up against his brother Abel and killed him

This is obviously a very humbling verse as we see the first murder in the Bible,

Cain killing his brother, Abel.

We see this picture of strife and division and discord and hatred and anger and jealousy.

I mean all these different pictures of sin

just come rising to the surface

and ultimately leading. to the me to think about the effects of sin in my own heart.

Like, yes, this is an extreme picture

in a sense here in Genesis chapter 4, verse 8,

but I want to encourage you to think about your heart like

where is there in your heart enmity that rises up towards somebody else. Like, when do you get angry?

What causes anger in you?

What people in your life or what circumstances lead to anger in you?

Or is there any hatred?

Is there any bitterness?

I mean just think practically about your relationships. Is there any jealousy?

Just examine your heart and your relationships with others.

Is there any jealousy anywhere?

Any unforgiveness, any grudges that you are holding?
