CAIN and ABEL: Murder, Mercy, and Consequences – BT Ep2
Biblical Talks
In this episode of Biblical Talks, we discuss how anger and jealousy can cause great harm. In the case of Cain and Abel, that showed up in a sibling rivalry that led to the first premeditated murder [sin]. As a result, that brought about grave consequences. Above all, we cannot talk about the consequences of sin without also discussing the mercy of God.
Now, here are a couple questions for you. Have you read about Cain and Abel? If so, what are your thoughts? If you haven't, no worries, we've got you covered.
Either way, come go with us in your bible or bible app to Genesis 4:1-16 The Living Bible. Also, go ahead and use the player at the top of this blog post to follow along.

Receive your Free Gift of Salvation – The Gospel of Jesus Christ
Explanation
If you are reading this, it is not by chance. This is your time to receive the Gift of Salvation through Christ Jesus.
Now, you may be wondering, "Why do I need that?" Oh, I'm so glad you asked. The Bible says, that because
Adam ate fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil -- he released sin into the world.
And ultimately, Adam's sin brought death and death spread to everyone.
No doubt, you may be thinking, "Of course, everyone is going to die." But, my question to you is "Where will you spend eternity?" Because there is life after death. In fact, when you die you go to one of two places -- heaven or hell.
Also, it is important to understand that, Adam’s sin also brought an eternity in hell. But for those who choose not to receive the free gift of eternal life. Thus, you must make that choice before you take your last breath.
Romans 5:17 New Living Translation says,
“For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.”
To sum it all up, Romans 6:23 New Living Translation says,
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.”
So, if you are reading this, don't let another day go by without receiving this life-changing gift.
Scripture
Romans 10:8-10 New Living Translation says,
“8 …“The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach:
9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.”
Salvation Prayer
Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins. I ask You to forgive me. I want to follow You, Jesus. I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead. By faith, I receive You, Jesus Christ, and your gift of grace. Come into my heart, into my life, and be my Lord and Savior.
