Oct 4 — Cain and Abel
Adam and Eve’s sin brought death, pain, and separation from God into the world. Their sons, Cain and Abel, were also born sinners and needed a way to come to God. Abel trusted God and brought the sacrifice God accepted, while Cain tried to come to God his own way.
But God promised a Savior, Jesus, who would provide the way for people to come back to God.
