Comparing Abel's Gift Of Cain And Abel
God prefered Abel’s gift over Cain’s because Abel’s gift was worth more to Abel than Cain’s gift to Cain. Abel chose the best lamb for God while Cain gave God leftover hays. Cain asked Abel why he sacrificed his best lamb and told him that the harvest is good that year so there was a lot of leftover hays that he will give to God. Cain’s gift was not even something he would have kept and Abel chose something he loved dearly. The sacrifices made between the two clearly shows how selfless and selfish Cain and Abel are. Sacrifices are made when one gives up an item they love.The gift Cain gave to God doesn’t even count as a sacrifice, but instead, trash.
Jealousy, anger, and stubbornness stopped Cain from telling God about his hurt feelings.
