In Genesis 4:3-7, Jehovah reached out to Cain by speaking to him kindly and offering guidance. He encouraged Cain to improve and warned him about the danger of sin. This demonstrates Jehovah's willingness to help and lead us to repentance, even when we struggle. Unfortunately, Cain ignored this loving counsel. Jehovah continues to seek out those in need of repentance today, showing His ongoing desire to help sinners turn back to Him.
. How did Jehovah reach out to Cain in order to lead him to repentance? (Genesis 4:3-7) (See also picture.)Cain was Adam and Eve’s first son. He inherited sinful tendencies from his parents. Additionally, the Bible says of him: “His own works were wicked.” (1 John 3:12) Perhaps that explains why Jehovah “did not look with any favor on Cain and on his offering” when he offered up a sacrifice. Instead of changing his ways, “Cain grew hot with anger and was dejected.” What did Jehovah do next? He spoke to Cain. (Read Genesis 4:3-7.) Note that Jehovah reasoned kindly with Cain, offering him hope and warning him against the danger of sin. Sadly, Cain refused to listen. He did not let Jehovah lead him to repentance. After that negative response, did Jehovah stop trying to lead other sinners to repentance? Far from it!
