Cain and Abel: A Story of Betrayal and Brotherhood
The story of Cain and Abel is found in the book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible. It tells the story of the two sons of Adam and Eve, the first humans. Cain was the elder brother, and Abel was the younger.
Cain was a farmer, while Abel was a shepherd. One day, both brothers brought offerings to God. Cain brought some of the fruit of the ground, while Abel brought the choicest lamb from his flock. God favored Abel’s offering, and this made Cain angry and jealous.
A Jealous Rage
Cain’s jealousy festered, and he eventually lured Abel out to the field and killed him. This is the first recorded murder in the Bible.
After the murder, God confronted Cain and asked him where Abel was. Cain lied and said that he did not know, but God knew the truth. God punished Cain by sending him away from the land where he and his family had lived.

Romans 10:9-10 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.
John 3:5-6 5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is the Spirit. (Get Baptized)
