Jr. Tree of Life Cain and Abel: Part 2
Before you begin this Bible study, If you have never believed in Jesus Christ as your Savior, John 3:16 tells us: “ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have eternal life.’ Simply have faith that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and you will have eternal life and be saved. If you have believed in Jesus Christ as your Savior; then 1 John 1:9 tells us; “If you confess your sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Simply privately tell God the Father your sins to be filled with God the Holy Spirit and He will teach you Bible truth.

Promise Memory Verse
“A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, And a man of evil devices is hated.” Proverbs 14:17
Genesis 4:1-16-Period of Time-Age of the Gentiles Last week, we saw that Cain didn’t listen to
God. He did what he wanted to do instead. He wasn’t a happy person. Cain stayed angry and jealous because God accepted Abel’s lamb sacrifice and not his.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Both brothers went for a walk out into the fields, and then something horrible happened! Cain attacked Abel and murdered him! Nothing like this had ever taken place before.
God was aware of exactly what occurred, and asked Cain where Abel
was. Cain’s attitude was snarky with God, and he pretended like he had
no idea. Murdering someone is a very serious crime! God sent Cain away from his home and he was never allowed to farm again.
God never wants you to go around sulking, stomping your feet, or throwing a fit when you are told to do something. If you do this, you are out of fellowship with God, and you need to rebound because you are very foolish.
God wants you to think about the other kids in your class, and obey the rules that your teacher makes. If you are told to wear a mask, then you need follow directions so that you help keep your classmates safe. If you are supposed to social distance, don’t complain, just obey and respect your teacher. That is doing things God’s way.
I have an idea, to help you remember to listen to and obey your teachers. Lets’ use your imagination to help remind you about following the rules God made. Oh look, there is a robin eating a worm. Even birds have to obey God. When was the last time you saw a robin swimming across the river?
Outside the window are some playful squirrels running around in circles and dashing up a tree. Even squirrels have to obey God. When was the last time you saw a squirrel driving a UPS truck delivering packages?
Corrie the cat is purring while lying on top of a pillow. Even cats have to obey God. When was the last time you saw a cat baking cookies or
barking like a dog?
God gave the moon the job of lighting the night time sky. When was the last time, it got bored and went swimming in the lake? Even the moon has to obey God.
