DESTRUCTION BY DISOBEDIENCE
By Robert E. Hanna
Scripture Reading: Genesis 4:8-12
"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18). From the beginning, God has instructed man in the ways of righteousness; and from the beginning, man has been free to comply with or to rebel against God's expressed will. Between the first two sons of father Adam, there existed a clear contrast. Abel elected to be willingly obedient; Cain chose to "do it his way."
"Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord [a boastful show of pride in his personal accomplishment]. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof [an obedient act of humble submission to the specific conditions set forth by God regarding sacrificial offering].
