 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to

( 2Corinthians 3:3)

The Lord is Abel's
Shepherd.
Abel declares that 
often as he shall
 be exposed to danger ,
 he will have sufficient 
defense and protection 
in being under
the care of the Lord, his
Shepherd.
The Lord leads us into
the path of righteousness 
and the Lord leads us 
on in the path 
of righteousness. The
 Lord leads. The
believers simply trust in 
the Lord and follows
 his Lord.
The Lord has armed the
 believers to resist
fears which  attack the 
believers.
The believers are not
 devoid of fears.
We are to overcome fear 
wherever the Lord our
 Shepherd would lead us.

I shall fear no evil.
Abel's remedy against
fear is to trust
 the Lord with all
 his mind, with all
his heart, with all his 
soul, and with all his
strength.
The enemy waits for an 
opportunity to kill in the
valley of the shadow of
death. It is but a shadow
 of death for Abel. Abel
 has well practiced the steps 
that the Lord has taught him.
 The Lord leads. And Abel
 follows the Lord in the
path of righteousness for
the  name sake of
 the Lord.
The shadow of a giant
wild beast  will not kill. 
The shadow  of a serpent
 will not sting.
Christ has defeated death, 
when he died for us on
the cross. Christ has paid the
price of redeeming us with
 his precious blood. And God
 has raised Christ from the
dead. And death is defeated.
To the sheep of Christ ,
death is only a shadow.
Christ has already conquer the
enemy, death. Death can not
sting the believer. God will
 rebuke the enemy.
The Lord will guide us
 with His rod ,
 and  sustain us with
  His staff, 

 And that from a child 
you have known the holy
 scriptures, which are 
able to make you wise
 unto salvation through faith
 which is in  Christ Jesus.
(2Tim 3:15)
Abel proclaims that Jesus the
Lamb  of God  is slain from 
the foundation of the
 world.
For God so loved the
world that whosoever believes
in him shall not perish
but have everlasting life 



 Now faith is the substance
 of things hoped for,
 the evidence of things
 not seen.
For by it the elders
 obtained a good report.
Through faith we understand
 that the worlds were 
framed by the word of
 God, so that things
 which are seen were 
not made of things 
which do appear.
 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 speaks
(Hebrews 11:1-4)

Love never fails:
 but whether there be
 prophecies, they shall fail;
 whether there be tongues,
 they shall cease;
 whether there be knowledge,
 it shall vanish away.
 For we know in part,
 and we prophesy in part.
But when that which is
 perfect is come, then
 that which is in part
 shall be done away.
When I was a child,
 I spoke as a child,
 I understood as a child,
 I thought as a child: 
but when I became a man,
 I put away childish
  things.
For now we see through
 a glass, darkly;
 but then face to face:
 now I know in part; 
but then shall I know
 even as also I am known.
And now abides faith,
 hope, love, these three;
 but the greatest of 
these is love.
(1Corinthians 13:8-13)
What we see now is 
like a dim image in a
mirror.
Then we shall see face
to face. What I know
now is only partial,
but then it will be
complete - as perfect
as God's knowledge
of me.


We can see and understand 
only a little about God 
now , as if we were 
peering at his reflection 
in a poor mirror ; but 
someday we are going to
see God in his completeness,
face to face. Now all you 
know is hazy and blurred,
but someday you will see
everything clearly, just
as clearly as God sees
into your heart right now.
And we shall see God in
our pure heart.
And now these three 
lives in us :
 faith, hope, and love.
And the greatest of these is
 love.

Abel has the faith of
the Lord Jesus Christ in
all his mind, in all 
his heart, in all his
soul and in all his
strength.
Abel has the Lord Jesus
Christ's hope in 
all his mind, in all 
his heart, in all his
soul and in all his
strength.
Abel has the Lord
Jesus  Christ's love in
all his mind, in all 
his heart, in all his
soul and in all his
strength.
The Lord Jesus Christ
is Abel's righteousness.
Abel offered the Lord Jesus
Christ to God.
God  accepted Abel's
offering of the Lord
Jesus Christ by which 
he obtained witness that
 he was righteous,
 God testifying of  his
 gifts: and by it he 
being dead yet speaks.

 CAIN AND ABEL
And Adam knew Eve his wife;
 and she conceived, and bare Cain, 
and said, I have gotten a man
 from the LORD.

Eve was mistaken concerning her
 first child. She thought this 
was the child promised by the Lord ,
 but he was not the promised child.
 He is not the seed that should 
bruise the serpent's head. Instead 
of getting the Saviour Eve got
 a murderer. This shows her ignorance
 in which she had fallen into
 because she trusted in Satan for
 knowledge.

And she again bare his brother
 Abel. And Abel was a keeper of
 sheep, but Cain was a tiller of
 the ground. 
Abel was a type of spiritual man.
 He was a shepherd.       
And Abel brought an offering to 
the Lord. According to the Lord's 
instructions Abel  brought of the
 firstlings of his flock and of 
the fat thereof. And the LORD
 had respect unto Abel and to
 his offering:
Abel understood what the Lord's
 requirements for man's salvation.
 Abel had faith in the Lord.
 Abel was conscious of sin .His
 sacrifice of the firstlings of
 his flock was expression of his
 consciousness of man's sin and
 his need for the Lord to 
provide an substitute. Blood 
was shed to express his consciousness
 of sin and his faith in Lord 
for a substitute.
Abel's sacrifice was acceptable 
because he was righteous (1John 3:12).
 Abel's offering was acceptable 
because it was offered in faith 
(Heb11:4).God has ordained such 
sacrifice. It gives a picture of
 the atoning death of Christ. 
And in process of time it came
 to pass, that Cain brought of 
the fruit of the ground an offering
 unto the LORD
But unto Cain and to his offering 
he had not respect. And Cain was 
very wroth, and his countenance fell.
And the LORD said unto Cain, 
Why are you wroth? and why is
 your countenance fallen? 
If you do well, shall you not
 be accepted? and if you do not 
 well, sin lies at the door.
 And unto you shall be its desire,
 and you must rule over it.

This earthy offering had its
 roots in ground. It was from
 the world. It was a sign of 
disobedience to the Lord. Cain
 did his own way. Cain did 
it not according God's instruction.
 Cain did it not according the 
way of the Lord.
Cain was a type of a natural man
 of the world. These people 
attack with insults anything they 
do not understand. And those 
things that they knew by instinct,
 like wild animals, are the very
 thing that destroys them. How 
terrible for them. They have 
followed the way that Cain took
 (Jude 11,12).
Cain's religion was of works. 
It was based on lies. It had 
its roots from the liar , Satan.
 These lies lead to dead end ways 
that are without God.
Abel ate God's Word, and brought 
out offerings according to the 
word of God. And the Lord had 
respect unto Abel and his offering.
 But Cain ate the lies of Satan
 and brought up disobedience to God.

And Cain talked with Abel his
 brother: and it came to pass, 
when they were in the field, 
that Cain rose up against Abel
 his brother, and slew him. 
Cain's religion is a wolf 
in a sheepskin. In disobedience 
to the God Cain refused to recognize
 man's sin. Cain rejected the 
provision of God. It also 
rejected God's authority.

And the LORD said unto Cain,
 Where is Abel thy brother? 
And he said, I know not:
 Am I my brother's keeper? 
And He said, What have you done?
 the voice of thy brother's blood
 cries unto me from the ground. 
And now art thou cursed from
 the earth, which had opened 
her mouth to receive your brother's
 blood from thy hand; 
Man's religion fills his heart 
with hatred. Cain hated his
 brother and slew him.   
When you till the ground, it shall
 not henceforth yield unto thee 
her strength; a fugitive and a 
vagabond shall thou be in the
 earth.
         
God's way of salvation fills
 man's heart with love.
