• STUBBORNNESS REBELLION AND LIES:– God reproves and rebukes Cain– “If doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?” Acts 10:34.35– “If thou doest not well, sin lieth at door” Prov 13:15; Gal 6:7,8– Envy produced murder 1Jhn 3:12– Faith of Abel stood in stark contrast to the obstinacy and
impiety of Cain.

• STUBBORNNESS REBELLION AND LIES:– When God interrogates, Cain persists in sin
• First case man's struggle with Satan• Second case man's struggle with himself• Adam & Eve evasive but humble; Cain haughty

• RETRIBUTION OR PUNISHMENT– Justice demands punishment of wrong doing– The punishment decree is most graphic.• Ground did not yield her strength• Wander as a vagabond in the earth • A mark placed on forehead so no one would slay him.
