The Faith of Abel
Is Hebrews 11 simply a chapter about the accomplishments of people? How do you know? How would Abel or Cain know if their sacrifice was accepted or not? Why was Abel's sacrifice accepted instead of Cain's? How does God's answer to Cain reveal to us why Cain's sacrifice was not accepted? What is proper worship? How does Jude 11 show us the motives of Cain? What is faith always based on? What is missing in Cain's sacrifice?
Is the proper chronology:
Abel's faith -------therefore-------> Proper Sacrifice
or
Proper Sacrifice ---------showing---------> Abel's faith
How does the text emphasize which view is correct? How is Abel an exception from your typical presupposition regarding faithfulness to God and longevity? What humbling truth is found in 2 Peter 3:9-10? What does faith recognize? What does Abel "speaketh" according to Hebrews 11:4?
