*Faith Series: The Sacrifices of Faith*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"By Faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.â€* (Hebrews 11:4 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Abel's sacrificial offering was one of Faith. How do we know?
Pay attention to this: *"After some time Cain brought some of his harvest and gave it as an offering to the LORD.
Then Abel brought the first lamb born to one of his sheep, killed it, and gave the best parts of it as an offering. The LORD was pleased with Abel and his offering"* (Genesis 4:3-4 (GNB))
Take note of the words used to describe Cain's sacrifice: "some of his harvest"-- nothing special. But here are words used to describe Abel's sacrifice - "first lamb born", "best part", etc.
Whether you are reading King James version or Good News Bible version, the difference is clear. Abel was intentional and deliberate about his offering. What Hebrews 11:4 now reveals to us is the heart disposition that enabled Abel deliver an intentional and deliberate offerring to God-- it was a disposition of faith!
Abel had Faith that his sacrifice would be acceptable hence he made extra efforts to distinguish his offering by selecting the very best. His reward? We are still learning about him and his sacrifice because his sacrifice is still speaking. Hallelujah!!
If we must deliver offerings that would attract divine attention and commendation, we must offer sacrifices of Faith. Not only in material things but first our lives must be offered to God in Faith. When we have given ourselves to God, giving our best to Him becomes a hobby.
